With New York's One-House budgets expected next week, the state Legislature is poised to push back against Gov. Kathy Hochul’s proposed changes to school funding.
We've been telling you about that this week. On Tuesday, we spoke to Sullivan West Superintendent Dr. Kathleen Bressler about the nearly $2 million cut that her district is facing.
Governor Hochul’s budget director defended her proposed reductions to the state’s schools, but left the door open to restoring those cuts, now that new numbers show New York’s revenues are up by 1.3 billion dollars.
Now, both houses of the Legislature say they plan to restore school aid reductions proposed by the Governor.
From the New York Public News Network, Karen DeWitt reports.
