At this time we aren’t engaged in the federal policy debate. Please see our partner organizations for their insightful analysis on NCLB as well as many other important federal policy issues.

Although federal funding can leverage state and local change, the vast majority of public education spending and policymaking occurs at the state and local levels. We also know that elected officials listen closely to their own constituents. Therefore, we are building a network of state EVIs and state activists committed to improving public education policies and systems. Click on the states to find an EVI active in your area.

New York State must reduce prohibitive tuition costs as a means of increasing access to higher public education. Two possible ways of helping families better afford the state colleges are 1) by expanding eligibility for the Tuition Assistance Program and increasing the amount of the awards for eligible families; or 2) by establishing a refundable New York State tuition tax credit for all qualifying CUNY and SUNY students.

While there have been many successful small schools developed throughout the state, there are still more than 10,000 students attending 150 schools that are on the “failing” list. The New York State Legislature needs to provide a dedicated funding stream for creating smaller high schools so that we can build on current success and expand small school opportunities for more of New York’s students.
