NYSSBA Analysis of Governor Paterson’s Proposed Cuts to School Aid

According to a recent analysis by the New York State School Boards Association, Governor Paterson’s proposed cuts to school funding will spell serious trouble for schools and for already over-taxed property owners. Reducing state aid will compel school districts to go to local taxpayers to make up budget shortfalls, due to ever-increasing costs of salaries, benefits and other compulsory expenses in school budgets. NYSSBA proposes that Paterson should restore the funding to schools and enact mandate relief to ease the burden of unfunded mandates on school districts.
