Brooklyn City Councilmember Rita Joseph discussed the thousands of migrant students entering the city’s school system.

Joseph immigrated to the U.S. from Haiti as a child.

She explained how the City Council’s investing in the city’s immigrant students.

As the chair of the City Council’s Committee on Education, Joseph shared why she opposes Gov. Kathy Hochul’s plan to raise the cap on charter schools.

Under a new proposal, dozens of new charter schools could open in the city. The move would allow new city charters to be issued for the first time since 2019.

Joseph explained where things stand with universal 3-K early childhood education programs and what the Committee on Education’s doing to catch our students up from the pandemic.

The state comptroller recently announced New York’s losses in fourth-grade math and reading scores are double the national average.
