New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio is touting his administration’s readiness to implement universal pre-kindergarten this fall.
The mayor announced Tuesday that the expected pool of those applying to become pre-kindergarten teachers in September should top 8,000.
That is more than the 1,000 de Blasio says the city would need to handle an expected 53,000 new students.
