State Legislators Must Restore Our Public School Funding!

Attention all public school parents! When NY State was running a budget deficit several years ago, our legislators used a clever accounting trick (called the Gap Elimination Adjustment or GEA) to cut public school funding to every school district and thereby balance the budget. Well, now we have a state budget surplus and funding still hasn't been restored.  For Hastings, this loss to our schools runs about $700,000 PER YEAR.  Use this link to contact Governor Cuomo and our other state legislators to ask them to ELIMINATE THE GEA AND RESTORE OUR PUBLIC SCHOOL FUNDING!: http://www.hohschools.org/cms/lib07/NY01913703/Centricity/domain/4/advocacy/pageA_2-26.html
Our children's education is at stake.
