  • Education Voters Calls for Lawmakers to Put the Public Back in Our Public Schools

    Glynda Carr, Executive Director of Education Voters of New York testified on March 20, 2009 during the Assembly’s Education Committee’s public hearing on Mayoral Control held in Brooklyn, NY. The public hearing gathered hundreds of parents, students and community members that care passionately about ensuring that every New York child has the opportunity to learn and thrive in our public schools. Carr stated that “Few of us fail to recognize that progress has been made in improving the public schools of New York over the last 6 years, since Mayoral control was initiated. But the time is now and the outcome is clear: we need to put the public back in our public schools”.

    Education Voters says that the State budget puts children's future on hold

    President Obama put education at the center of his plan for America’s economic recovery and growth. The federal stimulus package New York received helped to restore much-needed funding and prevented teacher lay-offs and devastating cuts in the classroom. Unfortunately, New York State’s elected leaders chose another path: they invested zero dollars in public education.



    Long Time Education Philanthropists and Activists Call for Fair Share Tax Reform

    Like many other upper-income families, we have been vocal supporters of the Fair Share Tax Reform as the best solution to restoring the fiscal health of this State. We believe that just as having efficient highways or strong bridges in your district is not a privilege of the rich, so too must a quality education be available to all children. Now that the economy has taken a downturn, we are prepared and willing to do our part to keep our state functioning.
