  • June 4, 2020 the Honorable Andrew M
    June 4, 2020 The Honorable Andrew M. Cuomo Governor, State of New York Executive Chamber State Capitol Building Albany, NY 12224 Dear Governor Cuomo: Our state’s successful recovery from the devastating impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic depends on how quickly we transition from a state of near total lockdown to a fully functioning and vibrant economy. One sector that has been deemed necessary from day one, construction related to essential infrastructure, is key to this success. However, $743 million in local infrastructure construction and maintenance projects are on hold due to inaction by the state. We appreciate your recent statements about the importance of infrastructure investment as a critical and effective way to help restart and stimulate our economy and get people back to work. At your briefing you said: “There is no better time to build than right now. You need to start the economy, you need to create jobs, and you need to renew and repair this country’s economy and infrastructure. Now is the time to do it.” We could not agree more. And while your remarks thus far have focused on larger, regionally significant downstate tunnels and mass transit needs, we are confident that you fully recognize the importance of local transportation infrastructure projects to the vitality of so many upstate, rural economies, and to the statewide transportation system as a whole. Our Assembly Minority Conference and other legislative colleagues worked together with you this year to enact a fully committed and dedicated plan to invest in the local transportation infrastructure network through vital programs like CHIPS, PAVE-NY, BRIDGE-NY, and Extreme Winter Recovery.

  • THE STATE of EARLY LEARNING in NEW YORK TOO MANY YOUNG LEARNERS STILL LEFT out Access to Full-Day Pre-K and Child Care by Legislative District
    BRIEFING GUIDE THE STATE OF EARLY LEARNING IN NEW YORK TOO MANY YOUNG LEARNERS STILL LEFT OUT Access to Full-Day Pre-K and Child Care By Legislative District What New York Leaders Need to Do Now Recommendations for 2019-20 Enacted Budget Acknowledgments Preparation of this report was truly a team effort by the Ready for Kindergarten, Ready for College Campaign including Betty Holcomb, Center for Children’s Initiatives, Marina Marcou O’Malley, the Alliance for Quality Education, Dorothy (Dede) Hill, the Schuyler Center for Analysis and Advocacy, and Pete Nabozny, The Children’s Agenda for valuable data analysis and editing. Special thanks to Jennifer March, executive director, Citizens’ Committee for Children and to the Committee’s data and research team, including Marija Drobnjak, and Sophia Halkitis, for the providing data on subsidized child care in New York City. In addition, we want to thank the National Alliance for Early Success, the New York Community Trust, Ralph C. Wilson Jr. Foundation and The Partnership for America’s Children for their support. THE STATE OF EARLY LEARNING IN NEW YORK TOO MANY YOUNG LEARNERS STILL LEFT OUT | 2 OPPORTUNITIES DENIED Working Families And The State’s Youngest Learners Left Out HIGHLIGHTS • The Governor’s proposal to add just $15 million for pre-K for 3- and 4- year olds, is unlikely to add even the 3,000 new seats he promises, and falls dismally short of rising need and unmet demand. More than 100 districts gave formal notice of interest in adding pre-K last October. • 80,000 four-year-olds across the state – mostly outside New York City – still have no full-day pre-K.

  • June 4, 2020 the Honorable Andrew M. Cuomo Governor, State of New
    June 4, 2020 The Honorable Andrew M. Cuomo Governor, State of New York New York State Capitol Building Albany, NY 12224 Dear Governor Cuomo: We write today in support of allowing schools in New York State to host graduation ceremonies for this year’s graduates, provided that safety precautions are implemented. This pandemic has understandably upended the lives of all New Yorkers. Millions have changed their behaviors and made great sacrifices to help bend the curve of the virus. These decisions were not made lightly, and the health and safety of our citizens is of paramount importance. The members of the Assembly Minority Conference are particularly concerned about the negative effects the closure of schools and the cancelation of graduation ceremonies will have on our students in the future. We must consider that students have been isolated at home for almost three months due to the pandemic. Graduation ceremonies to celebrate educational accomplishments are an important rite of passage and represent a lifetime milestone. But they could also be an excellent way to finally transition our state out of this lockdown. For many young people who do not plan to attend college, this will be the only opportunity to participate in a graduation ceremony. Many will be entering the workforce, going into a trade, or enlisting in the military. Allowing graduation ceremonies to proceed would offer a sense of closure for students who so abruptly left school and had their educational experiences turned upside down. This is often the last time these young people will see each other as they move onto different paths in life.
