Top Priorities if Elected |
- Sound Basic Education under NYS Constitution requires ADEQUACY of Resources and Adequacy of Outcomes
- NYS MUST COME UP with a finance system that recognizes the needs of children
- NYS must come up with a financing system for schools that recognizes the inability of the tax base in Mount Vernon to pay for its school system

- ADEQUACY
-
ADEQUACY, or the notion that school funding should be geared to minimum educational outcomes is a focus that requires a reliable, flexible cost model that WE MUST DEMAND from New York State in its design of a finance system that works for Mount Vernon children by affording them a sound basic education, while providing sufficient funding that recognizes the limited resources of Mount Vernon's tax base.
- PROFILE: Barriers to Sound Basic Education in Mount Vernon
-
Despite the reinstatement of State-Aid to Schools for the City of Mount Vernon., devastating cuts to programs , services and staffing loom.
