Is it fair to pull 20% of funding from all school districts when they are not created equal? Few have the space and resources to open for all. Many black and brown districts are forced to start virtual. Another example of systemic racism in America. @NYGovCuomo @realDonaldTrump

It’s the last two weeks of August and it’s usually spent savoring the few precious moments of summer. Instead parents are stressed and seeking more info from schools about September. What will our severely underfunded school year look like in a pandemic, @NYGovCuomo?

It’s hard to put into words how much the Ossining teachers’ parade meant to us and what it did for our spirits. Thank you @OssiningSchools @OssiningPolice @OssiningSup @OssiningPDChief We are so lucky to live in a community with such dedicated teachers and public servants #opride

Did you know that music lessons happen at the same time as lunch in a busy cafeteria in Ossining? This is what happens when you underfund schools for a dozen years. #EquityForOssining #AlbanyDoYourJob #FundOurFuture

Dear ⁦@NYGovCuomo⁩,

No more sound bites please, just equity.

@jessvecc08 Thank you @jessvecc08, @KDiMiceliSLP and @KCrossling3 for dedicating your time and representing yesterday!

[Marisa Rokuson @marisarok]

@KDiMiceliSLP @GovCuomo Where did you find this info? I was trying to read through the budget briefing bookt this morning. This is very disappointing and seems incredibly unfair.🤯 #EquityForOssining #HarmedSuburbanFive #MoneyShouldFollowStudents

[Jess Vecchiarelli @jessvecc]

Every child in NYS should be entitled to the same education & opportunities regardless of the zip code they live in. It’s 2020 and we have an education crisis on our hands. Glad we agree that it’s a #CivilRights issue ⁦@NYGovCuomo⁩. Be their champion, they’re worth the💰

[Catherine Cioffi @CCioffi]

See you there!

[Senator Shelley Mayer @ShelleyBMayer]

Now’s the time to fully fund the Foundation Aid formula. Thank you to @NYSUT and President @AndyPallotta for your commitment to students, teachers and schools districts throughout the state.

[Senator Shelley Mayer @ShelleyBMayer]

So pleased that in today's State of the State Address @NYGovCuomo acknowledged the need for increased funding for needier districts and ensuring the school curriculum specifically addresses the value of diversity, tolerance & acceptance. #SOTS2020

[Ray Sanchez @TarrySup]

Come and support @OssiningSchools and the @HarmedSuburban5 Equitable funding for schools.

[Jess Vecchiarelli @jessvecc]

@GarySternNY Bedford receives 214% of their #FoundationAid funding w a dwindling population. Meanwhile districts like @OssiningSchools have taken on 1k kids & are funded at 50%. When will NYS start to equitably fund education based on the students walking the halls today? Taxpayers wanna know

[Marisa Rokuson @marisarok]

love getting these sneak-peaks into the classroom. Thank you! #OPride
