Right now our leaders in Albany are making critical decisions on how to close a $9 billion budget deficit. The proposed budget cuts threaten to eliminate the resources our schools, classrooms and teachers need to effectively prepare students for success. New York schools will be forced to cut programs, increase class size and lay off teachers. Our kids’ futures are being put in jeopardy if we fail to educate them well.
We need to remind our state leigslators that taking resource out of our classrooms is not an option, and that a $1.4 billion dollar cut proposed by the governor and Senate or even an $800 million dollar cut proposed by the Assembly hurts our communities, schools and children.
