Department of Education (DOE) Schools Chancellor David Banks and other city education officials faced a litany of budget questions from City Council members Monday regarding additional funding and proposed changes for public schools.
The March 21 hearing was intended to allow members of the DOE to explain to council members and New Yorkers how spending for public school education for the fiscal year 2023 will be allocated, as well as an opportunity for DOE leaders to learn what is needed in the future from their constituents. Joining Banks at the dais were Dan Weisberg, First Deputy Chancellor and Lindsey Oates, Chief Financial Officer.
