Report offers ideas for reforming education aid distribution

Dec. 2, 2024  – This spring, state lawmakers and Gov. Kathy Hochul – after a contentious battle over education funding in the state budget – directed the Rockefeller Institute of Government to examine how the state doles out the bulk of school funding and consider how to improve this process. We discuss the think tank’s report with their president, Bob Megna, who explains the approach they took to this project and outlines some of the key recommendations.

We previously talked with Megna about how the report came together, including soliciting input from around the state.

A copy of the report is available below.
