Assemblywoman Russell reacts to final budget school funding

“North Country schools have gone to heroic lengths to provide a solid education to our kids in the face of years of budget cuts. This year’s budget increases overall state aid but unfortunately the funding formula does not address the specific needs of several area school districts. I have been working with many superintendents throughout the budget process and after further discussions with them this morning I am resolved to continue to fight for more direct aid to our region so our children can get the education they deserve.”
