Update: Class size hearings to be held on Friday Feb. 28, 10AM at City Hall!
We really need parents, teachers, and concerned citizens to come out and show their support for this event. You can come to testify and/or bring signs to show your support for smaller class sizes.
If you cannot attend, you can also send written testimony or a statement of support to jatwell@council.nyc.gov by March 4, which will be shared with the Education Committee members.
If you do plan to testify or send a statement, is always best to speak from your own experience as a parent or teacher. But additional points you could make are provided in our Class Size FAQ here.
These rescheduling issues are out of our hands, but we apologize for any confusion or inconvenience this causes. Thank you for your patience, and for your continued support for NYC students.
And if you haven’t already, please also call Speaker Corey Johnson at 212-564-7757 or 212-788-7210 and your own Council Member – you can find out their contact info at https://council.nyc.gov/districts/
Urge them to allocate at least $100 million in next year’s budget for class size reduction.
Then follow up by letting us know at our quick survey. Thanks so much to those of you who’ve done this already.
