An act directing the New York state department of education, the New York state department of taxation and finance, and the state board of real property services to study the fiscal impact of funding education with state income tax [AB-1086]
Given the current education funding system, which is based upon real property taxation, there are inherent inequities throughout the state. Children in different regions of the state receive varying degrees of education and ability to participate in extracurricular activities. Children should not be penalized based upon their geographic location, a factor that is well beyond their control. Therefore a method of funding education that allows all children to receive the same educational and extracurricular opportunities should be determined.
