2ds agoYonkers Mayor Mike Spano is back in Albany, advocating for amendments to the regional cost index used to determine foundation aid.
He aims to have Yonkers grouped with the downstate region instead of upstate, highlighting that over 70% of hired teachers come from the New York City area, indicating a shared labor force region.
This change could potentially bring $24 million annually to Yonkers schools.
Despite this, the state's regional cost index has remained unchanged for nearly two decades.
