The city's Independent Budget Office says there were 32,803 homeless students in the 2015-2016 school year — a 15 percent increase. The number was highest in the Bronx.' According to the Daily News (http://nydn.us/2q9ZCAq ), Education Department spokeswoman Toya Holness says Mayor Bill de Blasio has restored over $10 million for programs to help homeless students in his latest version of the executive city budget. Holness says efforts include hiring more social workers, expanding an after-school program and offering more school-based health services. ——-- Information from: Daily News, http://ift.tt/qIeiYO Copyright 2017 Associated Press.
