It’s pay — to stay.
Two City Council members are pushing new legislation to weigh the possibility of subsidizing parents who send their kids to private school — a bid to keep public education-waryThe bill by Councilmen Joe Borelli and Kalman Yeger would require the city to study the feasibility of setting up a “school choice” program where families who send kids to Catholic, parochial, private schools and yeshivas are reimbursed up to $10,000 annually for tuition payments.
“We have seen parents flee the school [public] system and seek alternatives that they might not be able to afford,” said Borelli. The Department of Finance and Department of Education would jointly conduct the study and help determine how best to administer such a program if it’s warranted, according to a draft of the legislation reviewed by The Post. The proposed local law is set to be introduced at the Council’s Sept. 14 meeting.
The cost of such an initiative would likely run more than $2 billion since there were 221,000 students enrolled in private schools last year,Councilman Joe Borelli, a Staten Island Republican, is sponsoring legislation that would require the city to study the feasibility of setting up a “school choice” program.
