Flush with federal stimulus money, Mayor Bill de Blasio has proposed hiring 500 more social workers as children return to buildings carrying the trauma from the pandemic’s grip on New York City.
The hiring spree would ensure every school has at least one full-time social worker or access to a school-based mental health clinic, city officials have said.
But that plan still leaves 75 schools without a full-time social worker, according to a new analysis from the Independent Budget Office, or the IBO.
