City schools have to trim 1.2% from their budgets by Monday-- and just now, Gov. David Paterson says the state will cut back on planned support for the public schools. While Paterson says his cutbacks aren't true "cuts" -- actual programs and services aren't going by the wayside, for the moment at least -- they do represent a substantial and significant decrease in state aid for the city's schools, and will surely have profound and durable repercussions for New York City's 1.1 million students and their families.
