Three Jewish organizations sponsored a joint leadership mission to Albany today, in support of the 130,000 students in Jewish day schools, among over 400,000 in all of New York State’s non-public schools. They thanked legislators and Governor Cuomo for restoring reimbursement funds and for exempting all schools from the two-year-old MTA Payroll Tax. The Jewish groups also expressed concern about new legislation that would allow school districts to cut busing for non-public school children, and to further restrict the ability for parents to be reimbursed for special education services when the public programs are unsuitable.
