De Blasio wants to create year-round free schools in New York

Mayor Bill de Blasio, who is retiring from his tenure, has proposed year-round schooling across the state, funded by raising taxes for the wealthy. Among other things, he again hinted about a possible election campaign for the post governor, Said The New York Post.

Before he could announce the campaign, de Blasio announced year-round training. He talked about it in a video on his campaign website. He also talked about it on MSNBC's Morning Joe, which was not on his City Hall's schedule.

He said he had a plan "to revolutionize education in New York State." Mayor de Blasio proposes “school all day, all year round, and everything is free. " According to him, this will be the first such approach to education in the country.

De Blasio's announcement became an excerpt from his election campaign 2013. Then he promised universal preschool education by raising taxes for the rich. By the way, he once again refused to officially announce his participation in the Democratic Party primaries in 2022.

“You need to tax the rich. Revolutionize public education. Reduce inequality, ”he wrote on the morning of November 18 in his personal account.

“Here's my plan to provide free one-stop 3-K and Pre-K programs after school and full-day summer programs for all New York families.”

In a video posted on the campaign website, the outgoing mayor announced a host of statewide education reforms. These include the reform of the introduction of universal preschool education and 3K throughout the state. Study will last until the end of the day with the possibility of studying at school 12 months a year.

“Every child deserves an education all summer long if it benefits him,” he said in a video released November 17.

A vision of change

“We can lead a nation with a vision of education that can move us forward,” he said.

Earlier this month, the mayor formed a nominee committee with the State Electoral Commission.

When asked if he was running for governor, de Blasio did not give a specific answer. He talked more about his "vision for change" in education policy.

“Well, I'm going to stay in the public service no matter what,” he assured.

According to de Blasio, the school day, like the school year, does not correspond to the reality of the family. And so people of the middle class, people of the working class are struggling to find a way out. "

The mayor was asked when he will announce his campaign for governor. He replied, "I will definitely say more about this in the coming weeks."

If he had made a national bid, de Blasio would have faced a large number of participants. Participants include Gov. Katie Hawkull, public attorney Jumaan Williams and state attorney general Laetitia James. All of them have already announced their participation in the June Democratic primaries.

According to a recent report, the Big Apple spends more than twice as much on public school students as other states on average. New York City's spending per student exceeds all other 49 states in the country and the District of Columbia.

De Blasio's successor, Mayor-elect Eric Adams, proposed "expanding learning opportunities" for New York City public school students in the summer.

This year, the Department of Education has offered summer school programs to all students.
