Kathy Hochul should veto the Legislature\u2019s 11th-hour sabotage of mayoral control of New York City schools, with an unfunded poison pill of an NYC-only mandate for smaller class sizes.<\/p>\n<p>Last Friday, a diverse group of parents rallied in front of Hochul\u2019s Manhattan office to demand a veto. Signs included: \u201cMayoral control, not controlled mayor!!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Vetoing the ugly mayoral-control bill (which waters down the mayor\u2019s power) would oblige her to call the Legislature back to pass a clean one, since control otherwise will lapse June 30. <\/p>\n<p>But the gov can just nix the measure to cap class sizes at between 25 and 20 students for various grades. City Hall\u2019s preliminary analysis shows that would cost $1 billion a year to implement. \u00a0<\/p>\n<p>As the Empire Center\u2019s Peter Warren argues, the mandate is simply a gift to the United Federation of Teachers, which would get more jobs for its members plus special powers over how the mayor and chancellor implement the order.<\/p>\n<p><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/cbcny.org\/advocacy\/letter-governor-hochul-urging-veto-new-york-city-class-size-bill\">Citizens Budget Commission chief Andrew Rein urges<\/a> a veto because the class-size mandate requires \u201csignificant new spending\u201d with zero evidence the outlays would boost \u201clearning outcomes.\u201d Notably, the mandate would force rapid hiring of rookie teachers to meet the class-size quotas, surely \u201cnegating some of the potential benefits.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Offsetting cuts to pay for those new teachers threaten other valuable programs, from AP and gifted classes to the mayor\u2019s new initiative to better help kids with dyslexia.<\/p>\n<p>If Hochul is a true ally of Mayor Adams, she\u2019ll veto <em>at least<\/em> the class-size mandate.\n                        <\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
