Advocates for Children of New York gen yon vizyon sengilye: yon sistèm lekòl ekitab ak enklizif kote tout elèv resevwa edikasyon yo bezwen pou maksimize potansyèl yo antanke granmoun.
Nou goumen pou fanmi yo
Pandan plis pase 50 ane, nou goumen bò kote fanmi Vil Nouyòk ki soti nan kominote ki pa gen resous yo atravè yon konbinezon inik nan sèvis, tout konsantre sou pwoteje dwa edikasyon ak elimine baryè nan siksè pou tout elèv yo ka pwospere.
Apre manman Emely te kontakte Advocates for Children, nou te ede jwenn yon evalyasyon konplè pou detèmine bezwen Emely. Lè DOE a toujou pa t ofri Emely èd li te bezwen an, AFC te depoze yon demann odyans san patipri pou garanti plasman pou Emely nan yon lekòl espesyalize pou elèv ki gen andikap aprantisaj, ansanm ak terapi entansif lapawòl ak leson patikilye youn a youn nan lekti ak ekri andeyò lekòl la.
With support from an advocate, shy Irene was able to open up. It was really empowering,” remembers her AFC advocate. “Because she felt comfortable, she could speak up for herself and her needs and talk about what she’s looking for in her education.”
Avèk èd AFC, manman Charlene te jwenn yon lekòl kote pitit fi li a te kapab pwospere, yon lekòl ki espesyalize nan travay ak timoun ki byen fonksyone ak pwoblèm konpòtman tankou Charlene.
Governor Hochul’s Executive Budget proposes changes to the formula used to decide how much education funding school districts get from the State for each student. While the formula is out-of-date and needs updating, the Governor’s proposal would result in NYC Public Schools getting nearly $350M less than they would without these changes. Join us in asking Governor Hochul and the NYS Legislature to update the formula to give all schools the funding they need.
