Systemic educational racism has shortchanged entire school districts serving Black, Brown and immigrant students, resulting in the underfunding of high need schools for students of all races. To overcome educational racism, New York State must provide equity by fully funding schools.
AQE exists because people like you care about doing what is right for New York’s children, our schools and our communities. Here are some ways to get involved today:
We are a coalition mobilizing communities across the state to keep New York true to its promise of ensuring a high-quality public school education to all students regardless of ZIP code. We are working to end the systemic racism and economic oppression in New York’s public schools that continues to shortchange generations of Black, Brown, low-income and immigrant students.
Without adequate resources, schools cannot educate students. New York currently ranks 49th in the nation on equity in education spending. Find out how much New York State owes your school district.
