Mayor Eric Adams did an about-face on the state’s controversial class size law Wednesday — announcing New York City will hire thousands of new teachers after saying for years that the mandate was unaffordable. The city will give the already-bloated city Department of Education extra cash to hire 3,700 teachers across 750 public schools to help shrink classroom headcounts, the mayor said. “These 3,700 new teachers will give our schools the ability to create smaller classes, more nurturing classrooms, where all our students can excel and be provided more individualized care,” Adams said.
