ALBANY School districts appear to be getting more aid in Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo s budget proposal, but the boost is largely driven by federal pandemic relief funds made available to schools in the most recent federal stimulus package.
Aid to New York s more than 700 school districts would rise by $2.1 billion in 2021-2022, through a combination of federal and state dollars, according to the governor s financial plan. Approximately 70 percent of the $31.7 billion in combined state and federal education funding will be directed to high need districts, state officials say.

COVID-19 vaccinations for teachers should decrease the number of interruptions to in-school learning, but first, they must get through the state s buggy enrollment process.
Teachers, school administrators, bus drivers, school food service workers, day care staff, and in-person college instructors all became eligible for the shots on Monday as part of phase 1b in New York s vaccine distribution schedule.
