A de Blasio era special-ed policy is killing NYC’s budget

A de Blasio era special-ed policy is killing NYC’s budget is drawing significant interest across the industry.

Mayor Zohran Mamdani says New Yorkers face a choice: Tax the wealthy or raise property taxes to close a $5.4 billion budget gap. He left out a third option. Reimagine “due process” cases in the Department of Education that account for $1.54 billion of that gap — 10.3% of the entire shortfall.

Experts suggest this could influence future trends and innovation in the sector.

More updates are expected as the story develops.
