Issue Position: Fund Our Public Schools

Issue Position

New York City public schools--especially those in communities of color like our district--are owed nearly $4 billion dollars in foundation aid by the State of New York. The State refuses to pay this money. As your state senator, Jessica will fight for the money our schools are owed--and for a school system that works for every child, in every school, in District 13 and across the city.

"My two sons attend P.S. 69 in Jackson Heights, and it's a great school. It could be even better if got the $1.5 million dollars it's owed. That money belongs to the families of Jackson Heights, and I will fight for it and for every affected school in the city."
