Cuomo’s school aid hike falls short says advocates
Advocates say Governor Cuomo’s two year 2.1 billion dollar plan would raise New York education spending to 25 billion, but first year aid of about 991 million is far below Regents and state business officials estimates. They warn its shortfall could strain districts due to tax cap limits. The plan aims to end the Gap Elimination Adjustment and fund more community schools with services.
