New York City schools feeling strain of migrant surge

New York City — Last year, Mirian and Miguel, along with their 7-year-old son Jordan, traveled more than 3,000 miles from Ecuador to the U.S.-Mexico border.

They eventually landed in New York City, where Jordan started his journey through the education system at P.S. 51, an elementary school in Manhattan. Jordan is one of 34,000 migrant children who have enrolled in New York City Public Schools in the past 18 months, according to the district.

Jordan's first lesson came in teacher Liz Pearson's English as a New Language class.
