I am honored that Senate Majority Leader Andrea Stewart-Cousins reappointed me as the Chair of the Senate Committee on Education. In recent years, we have made incredible strides in increasing equity and financial support to schools across the state. In 2022, we continued our commitment to phasing in full funding of our schools. We built on 2021’s historic investment in Foundation Aid, by appropriating $1.5 billion in additional funding to public schools across New York State. By the end of 2023, every school district will receive 100% of the amount owed by the Foundation Aid formula. I am eager to begin working with my colleagues to continue to bring resources and equity to education across the state.
