The formula is based on taxpayers and public school students.
East Ramapo wants the formula changed as they say its unfair to the district because most students there go to private schools and not public schools, so thats how they want the state to bail them out.
That’s not a bail-out. It’s perfectly reasonable to say that funding should be based on all of the students who are legally entitled to the funds.
They’re not asking for a bail-out, they’re asking to fix a flawed funding formula.
