New York Citypublic schools that lost students after families moved or pulled out because of the Covid-19 pandemic now must prepare to return to the city some funding due to enrollment drops.
This academic year, the number of students enrolled in the country’s largest school system from grades 3K to 12 is approximately 960,000, down about 43,000, or 4%, from the previous year, according to preliminary city enrollment data.
Schools that lost students will have to return a portion of the funding received for each student who left.
Jessica Flores remembers seeing the problems brewing in July that will end up costing her school a lot of funding. Within months of the start of the pandemic, droves of families started withdrawing their children from her son’s elementary school — Public School 9 Sarah Smith Garnet — with many moving them to private or out-of-town schools, she said.
