"NYC Schools Chancellor warns of funding cuts as enrollment declines"

"New York City public schools with declining enrollments may see another round of budget cuts this year, Schools Chancellor David Banks said Wednesday during a City Council hearing.

While Banks said the cuts were possible, he added the city could use $160 million of federal stimulus funds to soften the blow."

"Banks said the city plans to use more stimulus money than was originally intended to offset reductions to school budgets. But he said schools with major declines may see reduced funds, and schools that have lost students will eventually see cuts."

"Some schools in the city will have an easier time finding money, like those that have received scores of students from asylum-seeking families, causing their enrollment to increase substantially."

And people say all the news is bad these days.

Here's to the progressiveness and sustainability of the above.

I love starting out with a smile.

Time for a huge breakfast and a walk.
