Important State Aid Writing Campaign
DID YOU KNOW . . .
• that despite the fact that Long Island schools
educate over 17% of the children in New York State, outside of New York
City, our schools receive approximately 12% of the state aid (exclusive
of New York City)?
• that $1 of spending power upstate New York is only
worth sixty-six cents here on Long Island?
- Despite receiving 12% of state aid, the governor’s proposed
measures calls for 18% of the funds cut from education to come from Long
Island.
The Legislative Action Committee is spearheading a letter-writing
campaign. Please download and sign the letters below and return them to any school
district building by Wednesday, November 25th, 2009.
The Legislative Action Committee will deliver all of the letters to the
appropriate offices.
Thank you in advance for your co-operation.
