    • More than 115 Organizations Call for Changes to New York State’s School Funding Formula

    Every child in New York State has the right to a sound, basic education—and providing such an education requires adequate and equitable funding. More than 115 organizations are calling on Governor Hochul and the New York State Legislature to revamp New York’s outdated school funding formula to ensure schools have the resources necessary to provide a high-quality education to all students, with particular attention to those who have the greatest needs.

    • Derechos civiles suspendidos: un análisis de las políticas disciplinarias de las escuelas autónomas de la ciudad de Nueva York

    Este informe de febrero de 2015 describe los hallazgos obtenidos a partir de la revisión de la AFC de 164 políticas disciplinarias de escuelas autónomas de la ciudad de Nueva York obtenidas a través de solicitudes de la Ley de Libertad de Información. Un número significativo de escuelas autónomas de la ciudad tienen políticas disciplinarias que no cumplen con los requisitos legales, lo que genera violaciones de los derechos civiles de los estudiantes y los padres. El informe incluye recomendaciones para que los legisladores estatales las consideren mientras discuten aumentar el límite de las escuelas charter y garantizar que las escuelas charter atiendan a los estudiantes con grandes necesidades.

    • AFC Testifies Regarding Diversity in New York City Schools

    AFC testified before the City Council’s Education Committee about diversity in NYC schools. Ensuring that students from diverse backgrounds have access to high-achieving schools and programs is critical, but is only one step. As the City Council strives to ensure that every school and program in NYC serves a diverse group of students, the City and DOE need to prepare schools to provide an excellent education to these students. Schools need resources, training, and the development of specialized programs to meet the needs of all students, including English Language Learners and students with disabilities.
