Education BudgetThis is a featured page

Background
  • Schools receive funding from both City and State
  • The State historically did not provide adequate funding for our children to receive quality education. This inequity led to the Campaign for Fiscal Equity lawsuit brought on by education advocates
  • As a result of the lawsuit, which took more than a decade, our schools are entitled to increased funding from the State
Problems
  • Both City and State proposed significant cuts to the next year's school budget
  • Mid-year budget cuts by the City for two years in a row (07-08 and 08-09)
  • Questionable spending practices by the DoE -- no bid and frivolous contracts to private consultants
Actions
  • Support the effort to amend the personal income tax law that would generate more State revenue
