Meet the New York State Allies for Public Education (NYSAPE)

By:  Marla Kilfoyle, Executive Director BATs and Steering Committee Member NYSAPE


Who is NYSAPE? What do they do? Here is who they are and what they have accomplished!



-->Gov. Cuomo stopped his bullying and created a task force.
-->Ed Reformer Chancellor Tisch decided not to seek another term 


--->NYSAPE supported our Hero Regents who are now all at the helm of creating education policy in NY!

--->Instrumental in leading the drive of over 260,000 (22%) test refusals in NYS (2016).  


1.  No one funds NYSAPE.  NYSAPE has NO budget but is able to successfully counter such highly funded organizations like High Achievement NY and StudentsFirstNY .
