AND as you're watching this, note what New York did with their CARES Act funding, such that the highest poverty districts again are bearing the brunt of the economic hit (again):
Atchison found that the highest poverty districts lost out the most because of the budget crunch. New York City ended up with about $900 less per student in state funding than it would have received; even with the one-time federal relief money, the city will get $200 less per student than if Cuomo’s previous proposal had been enacted. Affluent Scarsdale, meanwhile, ended up with just $15 per student less.
Rochester City schools, a district with one of the state’s highest child-poverty rates, missed out on $1,600 per student in state funding, and even with federal help is getting $230 less per student than it would have. One of Rochester’s wealthy suburbs, Fairport, actually ended up with more, counting federal aid.
