Mayor Zohran Mamdani crowed Friday that New York City now complies with the state’s mandate to reduce public school class sizes — but it only happened after he begged for an extension and his administration tweaked the math. Hizzoner and Schools Chancellor Kamar Samuels announced that 73. 4% of Big Apple public school classes now comply with the class-size law, “surpassing” the 70% compliance target for the 2026-27 school year.
