New York City public schools may be facing an impending financial crisis as they prepare to accommodate the influx of migrant families and their children who will attend Department of Education (DOE) schools.

According to City Comptroller Brad Lander, an estimated 19,000 migrants have arrived in the city recently, which includes approximately 5,500 students who have entered NYC DOE schools.
