Learn NY

In 2008, we started Learn NY because we believed parent engagement and community activism are critical to an effective school system.

Today, we are a coalition of over 16,000 reform-minded New York City public school parents and over 80 non-profit and community groups who have joined together to ensure that every child receives the high-quality education they deserve.

Working hand-in-hand with parents, school leaders and community organizations, Learn NY aims to be a powerful voice in the debate about how to continue progress in our schools. Together, we are making sure that our children have better schools and brighter futures.

The Obama Administration is offering New York up to $700 million in education funding. To receive this money, the State needed to adopt common sense school reforms by January 19. We failed to act in time, but we have one more chance. NY has until June 1 to embrace President Obama’s reforms or we lose our chance for the funding and our school children miss out.
