That’s perfectly fine. All public schools should get equal government resources.
This is already happening though. Specialized high schools in NYC do not get any more government resources than any other schools. For budget purposes, they are treated as normal public high schools.
I am not sure about G&T, but I'd assume they are not getting special treatment either. NYC uses the same formula to allocate funds regardless of the school. It is based on a per pupil basis + extra funds are added for each pupil who is special needs/ESL. NYC does not allocate funding based on student grades or school rankings...
"St. Camillus Catholic Academy, located at 185 Beach 99th Street in Queens, closed at the end of the 2019 school year. Declining enrollment due to changing demographics led to a severe budget deficit that could not be overcome."
This Deblasio short-sighted and short-term solution is to draw votes for his Prez run and future endeavors. The long term effect will be the erosion of the schools and quality of education in NYC will be dragged down as a whole. Gifted students will be the most affected but I am the believer that if someone is gifted they need to be addressed differently. If the schools doesn't recognize that the parents will have to intervene.
I live in NJ and the town was thinking of doing something similar to this and was shot down quickly by the town folks that pay the taxes and attends the town hall meeting. In a small town with only fewer than 10 schools this doesn't do much but in a large city with 20+ schools it has a huge impact.
I like to see NYC tax payers do the same and send DeBlasio a tough message that if he doesn't represent them. They should give him the finger as most co-workers at work are all moving out of NYC, pretty much anyone making 6 figures these days is leaving except the ultra rich liberals.
Catholic school is definitely on the table for my kids for high school. When the time comes I should be able to retire and take out a bunch of extra pension padding money to pay for it.
The other option is to just move. My ex works in NJ anyway. The kids can stay with her but I’ll move across the bridge so we can enroll our kids in a nice diverse, but non-socially engineered NJ town.

Anything public needs to be treated the same
Public housing, everybody gets the same style apartment
Public school, everybody gets the same style education
It's the transplants fault, they wanted their big beautiful brownstones for cheap and conveniently ignored the fact that the majority of NYC public schools really haven't been great since the late 1960s
Now they want to have offspring and its a problem, save me the tears
I was in a gifted program in NYC public school from K-5th in the 1980s and I still had fights at least once a week
As long as the school is in a poor neighborhood you'll never win, unless you do the pioneer work of integrating and sticking it out

Diblasio and Carranza want every school to have the same exact racial makeup as the city as a whole. how would that be done if not by bussing white/asians kids to south Bronx and Brownsville, and hispanic/black to Douglaston and Staten Island?
