SCHOOL DISTRICTS TEE OFF ON EDUCATION FUNDING Proposed bump for public schools less than expected By Pete DeMola EDITOR

LAKE GEORGE | As the state enters choppy fiscal waters, Gov. Andrew Cuomo has proposed increasing public school aid by 3 percent this year. The figure is less than the 4 percent bump sought by education advocates, and the revision amounts to a $769 million increase as opposed to $1.2 billion. (The state Board of Regents sought $1.6 billion.) Foundation aid will see a $338 million proposed increase, far less than the $1.25 billion requested by the state Board of Regents. The New York State School Boards Association called the proposed increase “inadequate.” “The governor’s budget proposal would constrain the ability of school board members to do the jobs they were elected to do,” Executive Director Timothy Kremer said in a statement. The budget released last week comes when the state faces a $4.4 billion shortfall, a number largely expected to widen as changes to the federal tax code take effect. Cuomo defended the investments, noting education spending has seen a 35 percent increase since 2012, making this year’s numbers the highest number ever. “We have increased education more than any area in state government, period,” Cuomo said at last week’s budget address. Charter schools would also see a 3 percent funding increase.
