These programs are a necessary part of our students\u2019 academic and developmental experiences \u2013 both in and outside of schools. While we welcome the <a>Mayor\u2019s<\/a> announcement of restorations to these education cuts in his November Financial Plan, there remain forthcoming education and youth cuts that we must confront, including to funding for tens of thousands of 3-K seats. There are outstanding deficiencies with the Administration\u2019s management of 3-K that the Department of Education must work to address, rather than cutting funding support for this essential lifeline for working families across New York City. Our children deserve responsible budget management and not to have the programs they rely on politicized in a process that is based on overly exaggerated estimates.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">###<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><em>In response to Mayor Adams announcing the restoration of budget cuts to Community Schools and increased investments into Summer Rising, <\/em><strong><em>Speaker Adrienne Adams, Finance Chair Justin Brannan, and Education Chair Rita Joseph<\/em><\/strong><em> released the following joint statement.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>\u201cEnsuring Community Schools and Summer Rising are protected from Mayor Adams\u2019 budget cuts has been a priority for the Council.<\/p>\n<p>&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><strong><small><a href=\"https:\/\/council.nyc.gov\/press\/2024\/01\/12\/2541\/\">READ MORE<\/a><\/small><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":273,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2541","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/council.nyc.gov\/press\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2541","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/council.nyc.gov\/press\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/council.nyc.gov\/press\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/council.nyc.gov\/press\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/273"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/council.nyc.gov\/press\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2541"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/council.nyc.gov\/press\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2541\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/council.nyc.gov\/press\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2541"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/council.nyc.gov\/press\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2541"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/council.nyc.gov\/press\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2541"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
