And one of the bus companies Mayor Adams is suing for shuttling thousands of migrants from Texas to New York City will stop, at least for now. Meanwhile, an eligibility scandal in New York City's public high school basketball league prompted the cancellation of a championship game but misconduct is much more widespread than the education department initially let on. WNYC's Ramsey Khalifeh reports. Also, Mayor Eric Adams is proposing major cuts to the city’s early education budget. Now, parents are worrying whether they’ll get a slot in the city’s free 3-K program. WNYC’s Jessica Gould has new data showing where the competition is fiercest for those seats.
