Who’s taking who to school? A plan to give the Big Apple extra time to comply with a school class-size cap was supposed to save the city $500 million — but it wasn’t included in the state’s key education budget bill. A deal to extend the timeline to comply with the rule saw fierce opposition from the powerful teachers union, but lawmakers said the delay will still be handled as a separate bill in the final days of the legislative session. The United Federation of Teachers — led by Michael Mulgrew — championed the class size reduction law.
