NY School Funding Virtual Town Hall
New York’s Foundation Aid Formula is unconstitutional and out of date. We need to fix it now!
If you are a student, parent, family member, teacher, administrator, alumni, neighbor, or community member, the Foundation Aid formula affects you and your local public school.
Join us! Thursday, September 19th at 4 pm for a virtual school funding town hall meeting.
The Center for Educational Equity and the American Institutes for Research are launching a project to advance the development of a constitutional school funding formula for New York State to replace the current 18-year old Foundation Aid formula, which is outdated and unconstitutional. Our Adequate, Constitutional, Equitable (ACE) School Funding Project will conduct an independent study to begin a process to develop a new formula that will fulfill the state’s constitutional obligation to provide our students sufficient resources each year to truly meet their educational needs.
We and the AIR team will provide more information about this new initiative and answer questions from the interested public at the virtual school funding town hall meeting on Thursday, September 19th at 4 pm. Those registering will be provided a Zoom link for the event.
