"Families in some of the city’s top school districts are leaving the Department of Education at an alarming clip, according to state data.
Mayor Eric Adams speculated this week that parents who’ve ditched the city and its public schools are likely to return as soon as Gotham gathers itself."
Adams and city are deluding themselves. Covid may have played some role in parents fleeing and taking their kids, but cannot discount eight years of BdeB and his race/class baiting policies implemented by that some kind of piece of chancellor Richard Carranza for piling on.
Some fallout from covid is nationwide and happening despite local politics and school policies. The rise in violent crime is nationwide. The rise in online shopping is nationwide. So too is the decline in public school enrollment. Covid is (apparently) in decline and we have a new regime at DOE, so I think it’s way to soon to say whether the lower student numbers are permanent.
They've probably left the city, and aren't coming back.
Watch city's next moves... They will bus or otherwise send kids from outside these districts to fill those empty seats in great names of "inclusion" and "equality".
Or taken their kids permanently out of the NYC public school system.
If much of Staten Island, parts of Long Island, and other areas are any indication this lull in student enrollment won't last. Asians will show up with suitcases full of cash buying homes in these areas with good public schools.
High income earners and brain drain out of NYC is real. I am happy to be on the other side of the border. Home values are going up outside of nyc
