                               RESOLUTION


 
  Condemning New York Governor Kathy Hochul for reducing funding for 
 schools across New York State and prioritizing increased funding for 
                               migrants.

Whereas, on January 16, 2024, New York Governor Kathy Hochul announced the 
        fiscal year 2025 State budget, which is a record high 233 billion dollar 
        budget;
Whereas the proposed budget includes a new formula for school aid funding that 
        reduces funding for hundreds of schools across the State of New York;
Whereas such school aid funding cuts will ultimately lead to a decline in 
        disability services;
Whereas Governor Hochul's 2025 budget includes billions of dollars in additional 
        funds for the migrant crisis; and
Whereas the additional billions of dollars in funds for migrants will be used to 
        provide migrants with legal assistance, housing, transportation, health 
        care, and jobs: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved, That the House of Representatives--
            (1) denounces Governor Kathy Hochul for reducing funding 
        for schools across New York State;
            (2) condemns Governor Hochul for allowing the border crisis 
        to displace students and harm their education; and
            (3) urges Governor Hochul to rescind her 2025 State budget 
        proposal and prioritize students over migrants by reversing the 
        funding cuts to schools.
