More than 1,000 people packed into Colonie Central High School on January 30 to hear students, teachers and school district leaders talk about the financial challenges facing public education. Billed as “NY Schools STILL in Fiscal Peril: Our Kids Can’t Wait Another Year,” the panel discussion centered on Gap Elimination Adjustment (GEA) cuts but touched on ways schools are affected as their budgets are annually slashed.
