PLACE NYC, a parent advocacy group in favor of accelerated learning programs, urged Mayor Eric Adams and Chancellor David C. Banks to fulfill their campaign commitments to reinstate the New York City gifted and talented program (G&T) and expand the program to underserved communities.
In their March 23 announcement, PLACE NYC alleged that the NYC public school system is experiencing an unprecedented decline in enrollment, with the uncertainty of G&T programs further exacerbating this decline particularly for many Pre-K and prospective G&T families.
