The Adams administration is taking several steps to improve the city’s pre-K and 3-K programs for special education students by adding 800 new seats across both, elongating the length of their school days and increasing early childhood special education teachers’ pay, the mayor and Department of Education (DOE) Chancellor David Banks announced Tuesday.

The changes are the result of 65 provider “contract enhancements” backed by a $130 million allocation for special early childhood education programs over the next two years, according to City Hall. Those funds will go towards “stabilizing” 3,000 pre-K and 3-K seats for students with disabilities, which includes the added seats, hours and pay.
