Adams unveils after-school expansion and effort to make it universal, following similar plans from mayoral rivals

By Ethan Stark-Miller Posted on April 29, 2025

Taking a page from his mayoral challengers’ playbooks, Mayor Eric Adams on Tuesday announced an expansion of the city’s after-school program for elementary school students as a step toward making it free for all students who want a seat.

Adams, during a Tuesday afternoon press conference at P.S. 20 Anna Silver School on Manhattan’s Lower East Side, revealed that he will begin investing $331 million in his upcoming Fiscal Year 2026 Executive Budget toward adding 20,000 new after-school seats for K-5 students over the next three years.
