The Orthodox Union Advocacy Center-Teach NYS applauds Governor Cuomo, State Senate Co-Leaders Jeff Klein and Dean Skelos and Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver for reaching an agreement on the state budget today, which includes legislative items that provide an unprecedented amount of funding for non-public schools.
“We are grateful for this historic level of support shown by Governor Cuomo, State Senate Co-Leaders Jeff Klein and Dean Skelos, and Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver in crafting a budget that not only is beneficial to non-public schools, but really moves the needle on creating parity and fairness for the non-public school families of New York,” said Jeff Leb, Director, OU Advocacy-Teach NYS. “All schoolchildren deserve to be in a safe and secure environment with modern technology and get the ‘leg up’ they need to succeed—regardless of where they go to school.”
