Hundreds of migrant families continue to flood enrollment centers every day with hopes of getting their kids into city public schools by the start of classes next week.
More than 60 migrant students and their parents showed up daily last week to enroll at each of the busiest Department of Education Welcome Centers, on Sutphin Boulevard in Jamaica and Queens Plaza North in Long Island City.
With 12 enrollment center across the city, more than 400 new students are enrolling citywide on a given day, insiders estimate.
That does not count those registered at dozens of migrant shelters, where DOE workers are being paid overtime to go and enroll kids.
“It’s a disaster,” one enrollment staffer said of the hardest-hit centers. “Nothing is going smoothly.”
One frustrated principal griped that no plans are being communicated to staff. “I mean, there’s a plan from me, but not one from the DOE.”
In a message to enrollment workers on Friday, Trevonda Kelly, first deputy in the Office of Student Enrollment, acknowledged the “increase in the number of families,” but urged, “Please don’t put much focus on long lines. Instead, keep doing what you’re doing to keep the lines moving.”

Another recently arrived mother from Ecuador told The Post that her children were assigned schools far away from each other and it would be impossible for her to coordinate pickup and drop-off — and find work as well.
“It is remote from where I live and I want it closer so I can look for a job,” the mom of three said.
Schools Chancellor David Banks said at a briefing this week that just this summer, 500 more asylum seekers — in addition to approximately 19,000 since the start of the migrant crisis — have so far entered the school system.

I just laugh at NYC nowadays they got exactly what they voted for.
NYC.....a sanctuary city....
This is all by design. NYC Public schools lost thousands of students due to COVID migration. What better way to prop up enrollment while continuing to get robust federal funding than to replace those kids with illegal immigrants?
60 students in NYC is a flood.. Who writes this garbage.
Since when did they stop calling these illegal aliens, “illegal aliens”? Every station and newspaper now calls them immigrants.
“all by design”
And I suppose all their vaccinations are up to date ....hmmm ?
What’s an illegal alien doing working in the USA ???
NYers are getting what NYC voted for!
They are ILLEGALS NOT MIGRANTS,
California 1980-2023
Nothing new..all the elementary schools in California were 50% illegals in these earlier years...I was a teacher there.then I had enough ..
I quit..
The NYC Dems have always been for the rights of the downtrodden and the civil disobedience to block attempts to move them out of protests.
Now they see the consequences we have seen for decades.
The illegal aliens are there to stay.

If she goes back home her children will Al be together
Those would be illegal aliens, not “migrants”.
Last time I checked (out of morbid curiosity) each kid in the district costs NY taxpayers north of $38K per year. Doubtlessly the ‘special needs’ of the illegals enrolling will be more.
hahahahaha
They are illegal invaders—now and forever...
“migrants, immigrants”—Nope.
This ping list is for the other articles of interest to homeschoolers about education and public school. This can occasionally be a fairly high volume list. Articles pinged to the Another Reason to Homeschool List will be given the keyword of ARTH. (If I remember. If I forget, please feel free to add it yourself)
The main Homeschool Ping List handles the homeschool-specific articles. I hold both the Homeschool Ping List and the Another Reason to Homeschool Ping list. Please freepmail me to let me know if you would like to be added to or removed from either list, or both.
Thankalib.
