More about the PEP budget vote.

[Office of New York City Comptroller Mark Levine @NYCComptroller]

Voting before necessary budget information is available is like grading a student based on their rough draft.

We don't yet have a final state budget (which funds 37% of the DOE's budget).

We don't yet have DOE's enrollment projections, which last year resulted in a $469m cut.

[PS116NYC @PS116NYC]

@leoniehaimson Good points. Where do we find the vote count? We should be able to see how our reps voted.

[PS116NYC @PS116NYC]

If you missed the PEP mtg, below is a great discussion of the mtg. & budget issues. The estimated budget passed, but it’s not the end of the process. PEP votes on the new Fair Student Funding (FSF) formula in May and the city council will vote as well. https://t.co/oti3JGbMzM

[PS116NYC @PS116NYC]

For more info: https://t.co/J0M6K3uMex The mayor’s $30.7B budget in FY24 is a decrease of 500M from the $31.2B for FY23

The plan must be approved by City Council so come to the PEP to get the details to discuss with your councilmember.

[PS116NYC @PS116NYC]

The Panel for Ed Policy (PEP) will vote on approval of the FY2024 estimated budget TONIGHT at 6:00pm. This new budget includes more cuts to schools. Please join the meeting to learn more. Register to speak by 5:00pm @ https://t.co/eLsUYSSsbO
