Make your contribution now and help Gothamist thrive in 2022.Hundreds of new preschool seats will be available to special education students, Mayor Eric Adams and Schools Chancellor David Banks announced Tuesday, seeking to address a persistent lack of access to free pre-K and 3-K for students with disabilities.
Adams and Banks promised to align many preschool special education offerings with other city-contracted pre-K programs, increasing special education preschool teachers’ pay to make their salaries equal to their counterparts in general education classrooms. They also pledged to add an hour of programming so that students with disabilities no longer have shorter school days than their peers.
“This term ‘for all’ has been thrown around, but in this sector ‘for all’ didn’t necessarily mean for all,” Banks said.
