Capital Region Teachers, Parents Rally Against Cuts to School Funding

Capital Region parents and teachers will come together today to rally against the 20 percent cuts in state aid to public schools.

The Alliance for Quality Education says a 20 percent cut in state aid would mean a loss of $25 million in funding for Albany schools and $28 million for Schenectady schools.

A car caravan will leave the State Museum at 11:30 this morning, followed by a press conference an hour later at the State Education Department on Washington Ave.

Then there will be a rally at 4:30 this afternoon at the Governor's Mansion.

This is one of several rallies happening across the state today.
