New York City public schools with fewer students than anticipated this fall will not have their budgets slashed, officials announced Wednesday — reverting to a controversial pandemic-era policy.

About half of the system’s 1,600 schools would have seen cuts totaling $157 million had the mid-year budget adjustments proceeded as planned, the city Department of Education said. The other half, which saw an increase in students, will get an $146 million total influx.

“Our top priority is to ensure that every school leader has the resources and support to carry out their school’s mission and put our children on a path to lifelong success,” Schools Chancellor Melissa Aviles-Ramos said in a statement.

The democrats have always been against rewards, but if they are going to reward anything, they want to reward failure.
