Rockefeller Institute of Government in Albany. The forum was co-sponsored by the New York State Association of School Business Officials (NYSASBO).
It was an honor to make SSFC’s voice heard in this forum focusing on the mounting effects of fiscal stress on New York’s school districts. My fellow panelists and I all agree that the crisis facing our schools is severe and we must advocate and work hard to help control it. The panelists were:
• Deborah Cunningham, NYSASBO Director of Education and Research
- E.J. McMahon, President and Founder, Empire Center for Public Policy, Inc.
- Michael Rebell, Executive Director, Campaign for Educational Equity, Teachers College, Columbia University
Keynote speaker John Sipple, Director of the NYS Center for Rural Schools, considered the question: Will New York’s students become the victims of educational insolvency? John’s comments set the discussion on a sound footing.
