Hochul Signs Bill to Cap Number of Students in NYC Classrooms
Gov. Kathy Hochul signed a bill on Thursday putting a cap on the number of students allowed in New York City classes.
The bill would allow for no more than 20 students in classes form kindergarten through third grade, no more than 23 students in classes from fourth through eighth grade and no more than 25 students in classes from ninth through 12th grade. The change will be phased in over five years with a focus on schools in higher-poverty neighborhoods. Implementation will be delayed for a year.
