In fact, these cuts are like the Mayor and the Chancellor thumbing their nose at the State Legislature,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>Haimson also noted that the city foresees a loss of about 1,500 teaching positions next year, and more than 3,000 after that.<\/p>\n<p>Overall city funding for schools has been reduced primarily due to lower enrollment, a spokesperson for City Hall told The Post. <\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" src=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/06\/nyc-school-budgets-294.jpg?w=1024\" alt=\"Michael Mulgrew, president of the United Federation of Teacher, said teachers and parents have fought to keep schools afloat during the pandemic.\" class=\"wp-image-22571801\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/06\/nyc-school-budgets-294.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1535 1536w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/06\/nyc-school-budgets-294.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all 1024w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/06\/nyc-school-budgets-294.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=512 512w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"\/><figcaption>Michael Mulgrew, president of the United Federation of Teacher, said teachers and parents have fought to keep schools afloat during the pandemic.<\/figcaption><figcaption><span class=\"credit\">KEVIN C DOWNS<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Kindergarten through third grade classes have averaged around 21.2 students this school year, compared to 23.8 students before the pandemic, according to data compiled by Haimson\u2019s advocacy group.
