NEW YORK — The New York City budget deal between Mayor Eric Adams and the City Council unveiled Friday includes $215 million in cuts to school budgets, despite a flurry of last-minute concern about the slashes from Council members, educators and union officials.
Just one day earlier, a Council source told the Daily News that lawmakers were locked in a “stalemate” with Mayor Adams over the proposed cuts to the budgets of schools that lost enrollment during the pandemic.
But in the final budget deal introduced Friday, the $215 million trim was left untouched.
