Couldn't have said it better myself!

Read this fantastic Op-Ed from Jeff Smink from @EdTrustNY

“New York can still catch up, but it must act decisively. 

EdTrust-New York urges state leaders to take several practical steps: Pass the Right to Read Act sponsored by Assemblymember Robert Carroll and invest an additional $35 million in professional learning, universal reading screening and science-of-reading–aligned curricula and materials.”

“When students face small-dollar emergencies that are major life crises, that can determine whether they stay in college or have to drop out.”-Arlen Benjamin-Gomez, executive director of EdTrust–New York, https://t.co/yMo1BEanY8

The #NYSbudget must go further to prioritize literacy as a foundation for student success and invest in a statewide longitudinal data system. We look forward to working with the Governor and Legislature to keep equity at the center.
