Parents march to Cuomo’s office to demand fiscal equity in education
Hundreds of parents from across the city, including a large contingent from Brooklyn, took part in a protest march to Governor Andrew Cuomo’s office in mid-town Manhattan Thursday afternoon to demand fiscal equity in education.
The protesters charged that the state’s newly enacted budget favors funding for charter schools at the expense of traditional public schools.
The march was organized by CEC/Citywide Working Group, a coalition of community education council members from school districts around the city.
