The Governor's announcement today is not an approval of NYC's plan. NYC school leaders do not yet have enough info & guidance to reopen their buildings. We have asked and have yet to receive answers to many questions that we believe are critical for the safe reopening of schools.

CSA strongly urges the city to close our schools. No one knows how vital public schools are more than those who lead them. But nothing is more important than the health, safety & well-being of our communities. We hope the city will hear the collective voice of NYC educators.

We understand the obvious need to cut budgets. But there is no reason cuts should impact schools directly. A small portion of the overall education budget goes directly to schools. Savings should be found elsewhere & cuts to Fair Student Funding should be avoided at all costs.

We couldn't be prouder of Principal @JamaalBowmanNY for his campaign & last night's results. His students miss him, but his leadership is essential for his district and our nation. We know he will fight for public education & working families. Congrats to all on the historic win!
Jamaal Bowman, who has a lead in his primary against Eliot Engel, just spoke to supporters. "Our movement is designed to restore that faith, to restore that hope, to bring back the belief in what is possible, to root our values in everything we do."

Independent Budget Office conclusion: Proposed reductions "fall disproportionately on the general education instruction budget" and cuts in Fair Student Funding will "directly affect" students all over the city. Now more than ever, cuts must be made w/o impacting school budgets.
According to IBO: schools account for 28% of DOE budget but 68% of the proposed cuts. ibo.nyc.ny.us/iboreports/may…
