First Look at N NYS Proposed A Aid § How exactly does $27 billion in aid get divvied up among more than 700 school districts across the state? § Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo wants more money distributed to the poorest schools in districts with the highest needs. He focuses on educational equity by allocating 85% of the increase in foundation aid to high-need districts.
First Look at N NYS Proposed A Aid § After a ruling by New York’s highest court that all students were entitled to a “sound basic education,” the state in 2007 promised to phase in billions more dollars in aid and created a foundation aid formula to distribute funding equitably to school districts. § The formula includes a base cost to educate a student. Issues like poverty and students learning English as a new language are factored in. § Also considered are differences in costs across regions of the state and how much the local community can be counted on to contribute, based on its wealth. § There’s an understanding that districts are “save-harmless,” meaning they won't get less than the year before, even when enrollment drops.
First Look a at NY NYS Proposed Ai Aid Ti Tiers, , sh shares, s, etc. § Districts are placed into a series of “tiers” – one for big cities, for example, another for small cities, another based on the property-tax wealth of a district. § Long-standing “shares” agreement. New York City and Long Island are promised more than half; the Big 4 – Buffalo, Rochester, Syracuse and Yonkers – get 8%; and the Lower Hudson Valley, 6%. The rest of the state splits about a third, perpetuating the old debate about whether upstate gets its fair share.
