ALBANY, N.Y. Jan. 18, 2022 — New York State United Teachers President Andy Pallotta issued the following statement today on Gov. Kathy Hochul’s executive budget proposal:
With the state on solid financial footing, the ongoing needs of our pandemic-battered public schools, colleges and hospitals must be met this year. Gov. Hochul’s spending plan makes some important commitments toward meeting those needs, including a significant increase in aid for K-12 schools and sorely needed operating aid for SUNY and CUNY. We look forward to reviewing the executive budget in greater detail and ensuring the voices of our members are included in the conversation between now and April 1."
