While it\u2019s easy to quote a school budget statistic, it\u2019s much harder to dig into the data to figure out how a cut may look from a student\u2019s perspective.<\/p>\n

A new report from the Alliance for Quality Education (AQE),\u00a0What Students and Families Lose When School Districts Face Budget Pressure<\/a>, digs into how statewide funding decisions impact the families that live in those districts, and the students that attend those schools.<\/p>\n

Multiple upstate New York state districts were examined, including Rochester, Hudson and Cambridge. While the individual pressures changed from district to district, the consequences for students and families often looked similar: fewer teachers, fewer transportation options, fewer counselors.<\/p>\n

AQE\u2019s co-executive director Marina Marcou-O\u2019Malley joined Capital Tonight\u2019s Susan Arbetter to discuss the challenges that school districts face and how AQE would like them to be addressed.<\/p>\n
