Lisa Rozner at CBS News/New York reports New York City Public Schools are moving closer to meeting a State mandate to have smaller class sizes. Mayor Eric Adams recently joined Schools Chancellor Melissa Aviles-Ramos to announce the City will hire nearly 4,000 Teachers for the next school year. Sixty-percent of City Schools - around 750 - will get support to hire 3,700 new Teachers to create smaller classes. New York State mandates classes must be limited to 20 students in K-3, 23 students grades 4-8 and 25 students in high school by 2028. The money will come out of the Mayor's executive budget, so recruitment can start now.
