Where Did the NYS Funding for Afterschool Go?
When we heard that NYS funding was cut for afterschool, a political guy said, “Look around and you will see a politician announcing that he gave money from NY State to a group. Election season is here.”
Sure enough, the head of the NYS Senate, Mike Gianaris announced that he gave seventy million to religious schools for safety.
That money was awarded in May. (Source)
You don’t see Senator Andrew Gounardes or Senator Iwen Chu standing up for the lost afterschool money. Neither protested in Albany and neither attended the parent’s protest in Bay Ridge!
