The Canary in the Coal Mine or the Elephant in the Room Repository
Welcome. This is a repository of materials from “The Canary in the Coal Mine or the Elephant in the Room? New York State’s Approach to Funding High Needs Schools,” a summit hosted by NYSSBA and the BOCES Educational Consortium Dec. 16, 2011, in Syracuse. Here you’ll find the summit agenda with links to speaker presentation notes, power points and video clips, as well as sample ideas of steps you can take to gain community support and send your message to state officials. We also encourage you to share your ideas and thoughts on NYSSBA’s Facebook page at http://www.facebook.com/NYSSBA and with us at Barbara.bradley@nyssba.org. We’ll post your ideas on this web page.
