REFIT Goals 2022-2023

The current New York State funding and education aid distribution system, along with an over reliance on local property tax, which compensates for deficiencies in state aid, creates systemic inequity and prevents the state from fulfilling its constitutional obligation to provide a sound, basic education for every child.

In order to provide an equitable education system within the State of New York and eliminate this hardship on low wealth and overtaxed school districts, REFIT's goal is to maximize all available means to reform this inherently unresponsive school funding distribution system.
