城市预算倡导

Over the past three years, the Mayor and City Council baselined many of the important education programs that were at risk due to expiring federal or city funds, providing long-term funding. However, the City continued other initiatives for one year only—meaning the funding will expire at the end of the 2026–27 school year unless City leaders act to extend funding in next year’s budget. CEEF urges City leaders to provide long-term funding for all of these programs moving forward to help ensure their stability and success.

州预算倡导

For more than 15 years, the Foundation Aid formula has been used to decide how much education funding school districts get from New York State for each student. New York City currently uses its Foundation Aid dollars to support school budgets and to fund a range of crucial education programs—and 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 and adding a new per-pupil weight for students who are homeless or in foster care in 2026, additional updates to the formula are still needed to account for growing costs, particularly in large urban districts.

CEEF 继续呼吁修改公式，以帮助确保纽约市学校能够满足所有学生的需求，包括残疾学生、英语学习者 (ELL)、低收入家庭学生、无家可归的学生以及其他需要额外支持的学生。. Key recommendations include increasing the weight for students in temporary housing and students in the foster system and updating the Regional Cost Index (RCI) for New York City, ，这本应解释该州不同地区工资差异的原因，但自 2006 年以来一直没有改变。.
