Salaries for our specialized staff consistently lag behind, making workforce retention a challenge. The @4201Schools are asking for a new $10M initiative to help us better align salaries with those offered by public school districts. #FundThe4201s https://t.co/Q4yRG3UBHs @GovKathyHochul @AndreaSCousins @CarlHeastie

As the middle and high school principal at @SMSDBuffalo in Buffalo, Scott knows just how important it is for the state to continue to fund New York's 4201 Schools, which serve students with low-incidence disabilities.

As lawmakers negotiate the budget in Albany, we are urging parents, teachers, alumni, community members, and supporters to please send letters to your representatives.
