Researchers linked to the state itself warn of New York’s off-the-charts school spending
Opinion by Ken Girardin • 11h
What was expected to be a mundane state-ordered study into how Albany doles out cash to local school districts turns out to be required reading for New York taxpayers — and state lawmakers.
Frustrated with the state’s archaic formula for dispensing $25 billion in “Foundation Aid,” lawmakers and Gov. Hochul commissioned the Rockefeller Institute of Government, a research shop within the state university system, to have a look.
The Rockefeller wonks on Monday issued their 314-page findings without fanfare.
But true to their penchant for following data wherever they lead, they bravely exposed the rotten underbelly of a public-education system lawmakers at best have been afraid to confront and at worst have purposefully concealed to benefit the teachers’ unions.
