All children deserve access to a secure and quality general education funded by the state. This state funding will help alleviate the out-of-pocket costs of parents facing the burden of paying tuition and taxes. By voting, mobilizing a network of hundreds of schools, engaging with elected officials, and mobilizing students, parents, and community members to speak up in Albany, Teach NYS is able to fight for fair government funding for our yeshivas and Jewish day schools.
This model has led to expanded funding for special services, classroom technology, kosher meals, UPK programs, and more vital services. In addition to these vital programs, Teach NYS has successfully championed groundbreaking new initiatives, including the adoption of the first program in the country to fund general studies STEM teachers in nonpublic schools and new security programs in New York city and state nonpublic schools to ensure the safety of students and staff.
Teach NYS advocacy has led to close to $200 million in annual funding to our community with a goal of $1.3 billion in annual local and state support of nonpublic school students by 2030.
