Rockefeller Institute revises New York's Foundation Aid formula for public school funding following teachers' union concerns.

New York's Foundation Aid formula for public school funding is being revised by the Rockefeller Institute, following concerns from teachers' unions, including the New York State United Teachers and the United Federation of Teachers. The unions argue that the review prioritizes state fiscal concerns over students' educational rights. Governor Kathy Hochul initially aimed to eliminate a provision ensuring districts receive the same or more funding than the previous year but later backed off. The Rockefeller Institute is expected to present its recommendations by December.
