Now, on the first day of school for most Big Apple kids, we’re hearing reports of kids being turned away from their schools due to the influx of migrant children in the classrooms.
“It’s a capacity issue,” a teacher told The Post. “They should have worked this out two days ago!”
From The New York Post:
The line to get inside Newcomers High School in Long Island City stretched around the block early Thursday as frustrated teachers vented that the building had already hit capacity, pushing students at Gotham — a different school inside the building — to a facility across the street.

Many of the migrant students were beaming and proudly wearing their Queens shelter IDs around their necks.
Among the students gleaming with excitement was 15-year-old Jose Gonzalez, a Venezuelan migrant who said he wasn’t nervous to be starting school in the Big Apple.
“This is the best! I’ve been living in a shelter in Queens for a few months and I’ve been waiting for this. I’m so happy to see all these people. This is going to be great!” he said to 12th-grade science teacher Fatima Ayou, 45, who translated his comments to The Post.
