In response to Governor Andrew Cuomo publicly stating that he may have to slash state education aid by 20% or more if additional federal funding is not provided to New York State, the “Federal Funding Is Needed Now” petition has been posted on Change.org. The petition’s goal is to encourage Senators Kirstin Gillibrand and Charles Schumer and Congresspersons Peter King, Gregory Meeks, Kathleen Rice, Thomas Suozzi, and Lee Zeldin to fight for additional New York State federal funding in order to avoid state education aid being reduced or compromised.
The petition can be accessed here.
