Resous Politik
AFC travay pou chanje politik edikasyon pou sistèm lekòl piblik la sèvi tout timoun yo efektivman. Nou pibliye rapò politik ak analiz done, temwaye nan vil la ak nivo Eta a, pale nan laprès pou pote atansyon sou defi elèv yo ak fanmi nou sèvi yo ap fè fas a, epi mete ansanm ak lòt defansè, paran, jèn, ak edikatè pou mande chanje.
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 More than 115 organizations are calling on Governor Hochul and the New York State Legislature to revamp New York’s outdated school funding formula to ensure schools have the resources necessary to provide a high-quality education to all students, with particular attention to those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.161 Rezilta yo te jwenn

AFC te temwaye devan Komite Edikasyon Konsèy Vil la konsènan divèsite nan lekòl vil Nouyòk yo. Asire ke elèv ki soti nan divès orijin gen aksè nan lekòl ak pwogram ki gen anpil siksè se yon bagay enpòtan, men se sèlman yon etap. Pandan Konsèy Vil la ap fè efò pou asire ke chak lekòl ak pwogram nan vil Nouyòk sèvi yon gwoup divès elèv, Vil la ak DOE bezwen prepare lekòl yo pou bay elèv sa yo yon edikasyon ekselan. Lekòl yo bezwen resous, fòmasyon, ak devlopman nan pwogram espesyalize pou satisfè bezwen tout elèv yo, enkli Elèv k ap Aprann Lang Angle ak elèv ki gen andikap.
