We found a direct connection to lower SAT scores and the percentage of Foundation Aid funding school districts on Long Island are owed by NY. @abc7ny @aqe_ny #achievement #college #student #education #government #funding #longislandny

Albany has until April 1st to do the right thing and fund the #HarmedSuburbanFive school districts fairly. Contact your legislators and tell them our kids' education can't wait. https://t.co/KRJTyTJbU3 @NYGovCuomo @AndreaSCousins

Create a tier for the #HarmedSuburban5 to bring us to 80% Foundation Aid funding. The final budget must fully address our needs. We need and deserve equity for all our children! @NYGovCuomo @AndreaSCousins @ShelleyBMayer @CarlHeastie

This is how much NY owes each student in these districts in Foundation Aid funding after cutting back to save $$ according to data from @AQE_NY . @ABC7NY @Oss4FairFunding @PortChesterUFSD @OssiningSup @WestburySup

@NYGovCuomo Neighboring districts are flooded with more than they need, while the #HarmedSuburban5 is left scraping for pennies. Please do the right thing and fund our schools properly #ossiningforfairfunding

[Christine Mangiamele @CLMang]

@NYGovCuomo @AndreaSCousins @ShelleyBMayer @CarlHeastie We need a new foundation aid tier to get our school budgets up to 80% funding. Fix this! Our smallest New Yorkers are counting on you! #ossiningforfairfunding #harmedsuburban5 @OssiningSchools

[Danielle Leigh @DanielleNLeigh]

NY State uses a formula called "Foundation Aid" that's supposed to send more money to the neediest schools but many "needy" districts are getting a fraction of the money they're promised while other less "needy" districts get more. @ABC7NY #harmedsuburban5

[Kate Mathews @OUFSD_Arts]

I just called @NYGovCuomo @AndreaSCousins @ShellyBMayer @CarlHeastie @mikebenedetto to express my concerns re educational funding. Fund #harmedsuburban5!!

[Danielle Leigh @DanielleNLeigh]

"We're trying to avoid a crisis," says @OssiningSup @OssiningSchools "We're at it now." Of the millions in cuts the district could face if NY doesn't fulling fund Foundation Aid, the formula intended to make sure needy districts get the $$ they need. @ABC7NY #HarmedSuburban5

.@NYGovCuomo, the parents of @OssiningSchools are smart, united and know how to network to make things happen. We won’t stop until our kids get the funding they deserve. We welcome your leadership in our district to help solve this incredibly important issue. CC:@OssiningSchools

This is our sad reality and we cannot continue to pretend things are ok. This is not equity, this is not right! @NYGovCuomo,
Lets give them a proper place for learning. #HarmedSuburbanFive #ossiningforfairfunding #oursadreality @Oss4FairFunding
