Press Conference and Rally for Equity in School Funding

In April, the New York State Education Department increased foundation aid by more than 7 percent for public schools. At the same time, funding for Special Education Schools is expected to receive only a 4 percent increase. These funds are critical to providing high quality care and education to students while retaining and attracting qualified educators. All children deserve the same opportunities and same funding.

Join students, parents, teachers, and our elected officials in supporting legislation that will apply the same 7% increase in funding to all students including those that attend 853 and 4410 Programs.
