Albany Politicians Leaving NYC Mayor Eric Adams

In a published article by Yahoo, Albany politicians have left NYC Mayor Eric Adams alone in his attempt to extend his control over New York City public schools.

Lawmakers did not include an extension of mayoral control in their spending proposals, causing doubt about it being included in the final budget deal.

Teachers and the UFT president argue for more checks and balances, stating that teachers know best how to educate.

NYC Mayor Eric Adams defends his control, stating it allows him to adapt quickly to challenges. Governor Hochul had previously supported a four-year extension.
