Speaker Heastie Statement on Recently Released Rules for Federal Private School Vouchers

The Assembly Majority will always prioritize quality education for New York's students and ensure that public schools are fully funded.

Public dollars should support public schools that serve all children and are accountable to the taxpayers who fund them. New York should opt out of the federal voucher program and continue investing in the public schools that educate the overwhelming majority of our children.
