New York City currently uses its Foundation Aid dollars to support school budgets and to fund a range of crucial education programs\u2014and with more funding from Albany, the City could do even more to support students. While Governor Hochul and the State Legislature took a positive step by fully funding the Foundation Aid formula for the first time in 2023, the formula itself includes outdated and incomplete measures of need and has not evolved to account for growing costs, particularly in large urban districts. Unfortunately, the limited changes to the formula included in the final Fiscal Year 2026 budget resulted<\/a> in New York City schools getting hundreds of millions of dollars \u0623\u0642\u0644<\/em><\/strong> than they would have received had the State made no changes to the formula at all.\r\n\r\nCEEF is continuing to call for changes to the formula to help ensure New York City schools can meet the needs of all students, including students with disabilities, English Language Learners (ELLs), students from low-income families, students experiencing homelessness, and others who need additional support. Key recommendations include adding a per-pupil weight for students in temporary housing and students in the foster system and updating the Regional Cost Index (RCI) for New York City<\/strong>, which is supposed to account for differences in wages in different parts of the State but hasn\u2019t changed since 2006.","":null,"settings":["disable-bottom-padding"]}},{"acf_fc_layout":"layout_list_of_links","_acfe_flexible_toggle":null,"component_list_of_links":{"heading":"","desc":"","links":[{"type":"internal","file":13750,"external_url":"","internal_page":12585,"title":"Collective call for an equitable Foundation Aid formula","date":"Download CEEF's full recommendations (September 2024)"},{"type":"download","file":13689,"external_url":"","internal_page":null,"title":"News Release \u2014 Coalition Calls for State Action to Support Students Experiencing Homelessness","date":"October 23, 2025"},{"type":"download","file":14148,"external_url":"","internal_page":null,"title":"Statement on the FY 2027 Executive Budget","date":"January 20, 2026"},{"type":"download","file":14222,"external_url":"","internal_page":13501,"title":"Testimony for the Joint Legislative Hearing on the 2026\u20132027 Executive Budget Proposal","date":"January 29, 2026"},{"type":"download","file":13751,"external_url":"","internal_page":13501,"title":"Foundation Aid One-Pager","date":"Updated March 2026"},{"type":"internal","file":null,"external_url":"","internal_page":13501,"title":"Learn more about CEEF's work in FY 2026","date":""}],"settings":{"":null,"settings":["disable-top-padding"]}}},{"acf_fc_layout":"layout_wysiwyg","_acfe_flexible_toggle":null,"component_wysiwyg":{"content":"In addition to our work in Albany, in January 2026, CEEF joined more than 120 organizations across New York State calling on the New York delegation to the U.S. House of Representatives to reject the severe cuts to federal P\u201312 education funding included in the appropriations bill advanced out of subcommittee in September 2025.","":null,"settings":["disable-top-padding","disable-bottom-padding"]}},{"acf_fc_layout":"layout_list_of_links","_acfe_flexible_toggle":null,"component_list_of_links":{"heading":"","desc":"","links":[{"type":"internal","file":13750,"external_url":"","internal_page":14123,"title":"Letter to the NYS Congressional Delegation","date":"January 14, 2026"}],"settings":{"":null,"settings":["disable-top-padding"]}}},{"acf_fc_layout":"layout_actions","_acfe_flexible_toggle":null,"component_actions":{"header":"Get Involved!","subheader":"Are you interested in learning more about funding for New York schools and how to get involved in advocacy?
