Relates to extending the deadline for reduction in class size under contracts for excellence in a city school district in a city having a population of one million or more inhabitants

Summary

The law amends the Education Law so that any contract for excellence in a city school district with a population of one million or more must contain a detailed plan to cut class sizes. The plan sets step‑by‑step student‑to‑teacher ratios, prioritizes high‑poverty schools, and outlines limited exemptions approved by the chancellor and teachers’ and principals’ bargaining units. It also requires the contract to earmark additional foundation aid for programs serving students with the greatest needs.
