NYC education funding row sparks legislative debate
Albany lawmakers contend New York City used aid shifts to underfund its own schools while a Manhattan judge orders state aid reforms. From 1984 to 1999 city share fell 55 to 48 percent as state aid rose 40 to 44 percent, with federal funds balancing.
