Education as Investment and State Responsibility in Troy
The Troy Teachers' Association argues education attracts top recruits and requires four years of college for teachers plus ongoing in service training. It stresses education as a state function with salary and certification under state control, urging substantial state aid beyond current levels to fund salaries and school supplies. The group cites New York's rising incomes and tax growth, calls for a permanent state aid system, and appeals to citizens to support higher teacher wages.
