We are relieved by this victory, but remain appalled by the number of legislators who initially supported this minor consent bill.

Please continue to speak to your local electeds and demand that they protect parental rights and childhood!

Heartfelt, deepest condolences to the family of the 16 year old charter school student fatally shot today.

We ask everyone to lift his family up in prayers. 🙏🏽

Congratulations to our newest School Safety Agents on graduating today. Welcome to the family, we stand beside you and behind you throughout your career. 🫡

Join us for the street co-naming ceremony at Dexter Court & 85th Drive in Woodhaven this Saturday.

Let's come together to remember those who gave everything.

8/ “The Law was passed by legislators with no public input in June 2022...We demand this Law be amended to better meet the needs of our diverse communities.”, said Stephen Stowe, CSWG member and CEC 20 President.

11/ The Coalition urges state legislators to amend the law now based on the recommendations of the Class Size Working Group Minority Report including extending the timeline for implementation and eliminating the teacher and principal unions’ role in gatekeeping exemptions...

12/ ...so that the Chancellor of NYCPS can implement lower class sizes in a practical and equitable way to benefit all students in New York City.

7/ Jean Hahn, a parent in District 28—one of the most overcrowded districts in NYC— said, “The Class Size Law is rigidly written as if the only thing a child needs is a small class size, but parents know that a quality education is much more than that...Why the rush?”

6/ “The reality of this mandate is that funding will be redistributed from the poorest school districts to districts that are comparatively more affluent and already have stronger academic outcomes.”, said Executive Director Deborah Alexander

5/ * Eliminating up to 40% of the seats in Specialized High Schools, performing arts schools, large high schools, and other popular programs, particularly in Queens, South Brooklyn, and Staten Island.

4/ * Decreasing teacher quality in low income neighborhoods;
* Defunding electives, language. arts, music, and gym classes;
* Displacing school libraries and specialty rooms;
Reducing access to classrooms and programs like G&T, ICT, Honors, Dual-Language, AP classes;

3/ Some of these include:
* Limiting seats in zoned neighborhood schools;
* Busing kids as young as 5 years old on lengthy commutes - possibly outside their school district;
* Redistributing funding and resources away from low-income neighborhoods to higher-income neighborhoods;

2/ While smaller classes are appealing at face value, recommendations from the Class Size Working Group on the implementation of the Law shed light on the harsh consequences that will affect all NYC Public School (NYCPS) students.

1/ The Coalition for Class Size Equity is a coalition of parents from the five boroughs of New York City united our concerns over the harsh consequences from the Class Size Law.

Congrats and well done to our Coalition member, Charlene, and all SSA’s promoted today.
We appreciate all you do protecting our babies. 🙏🏽
