As parents, voters, and concerned residents of the Clarkstown, NY School District we the undersigned hereby demand that Governor Cuomo and our state legislators demonstrate that they value public education for our children more than giving a $5 billion tax break to New York’s top income earners.
 
To reverse the effects of the 2011-2012 State Budget they supported, which allows the NYS "millionaires tax” to expire while massively cutting public school funding, we demand they set to work immediately to restore the more than 1.3 billion in public education funds cut statewide (causing the loss of more than 30 teaching positions in Nyack alone); provide appropriate increases in public education funding in future years; and restore the New York State "millionaires tax" to cover these costs.
