Say NO to Cuomo’s Anti-Public Education Agenda. Cuomo’s heart belongs to the hedge fund managers. He does not care about public school kids. He is the lobbyist for the charter industry.

Since taking office in 2011, Governor Cuomo has abandoned our public schools by:

· Underfunding public schools and refusing to comply with the Campaign for Fiscal Equity ruling, starving our schools and students of classroom funding and resources.

· Proposing to give less classroom dollars to public schools that serve 97% of students, while driving more resources and special privileges to charter schools that serve a mere 3% of students across the state.

· Increasing testing and teaching to the test through the botched implementation of the Common Core and the flawed teacher evaluation system.

· Collecting large sums of campaign cash from hedge fund managers and super-wealthy donors that want to push forward more corporate-style reforms.
