About 3 times what most cities spend on schooling!! All the illegal alien kids are special needs and cost a fortune. Federal law says illegals cannot use our schools but dems say illegals are above the law.
New York City is spending billions more on its public schools despite falling enrollment, notes a new Citizens Budget Commission report, headed to a jaw-dropping $39,304 per-pupil in Fiscal Year 2025.
Enrollment in Department of Education schools dropped by roughly a tenth from FY 2020 to ’23, when DOE costs per student went over $37,000, with a slight bump up in ’24 thanks to illegal-migrant kids. Crucially, the United Federation of Teachers-inspired class-size mandate is pushing outlays ever higher, forcing the hiring of another 17,000 teachers at a yearly cost of $1.9 billion — even though the city’s lower-performing schools largely already meet the law’s standards, so the real impact will be to leave fewer seats in the better schools.
