Issue Position: Fully Fund Education in New York State

Issue Position

New York families deserve a high-quality educational system that is tightly coupled with Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM) and increased after-school programs. As a graduate of the public school system, education remains a critical priority for Michaelle in the legislature.

Every budget cycle, Michaelle and her colleagues allocated millions of dollars more in education funding to Long Island school districts. In addition, Michaelle has personally allocated grants to enrich educational programming. One of her long-term goals is to establish a comprehensive early childhood education system based on universal pre-kindergarten on Long Island. Michaelle will continue to support investment in education and make certain that the monies provided address the respective needs of each district and its pupils.

Michaelle will continue to closely communicate with school districts and coordinate efforts to enhance the infrastructure of our schools. Furthermore, she is committed to ensuring that all students have equal access to education and to promoting excellence in our schools.
