Each year, there's a debate over the education portion of the state budget, and that debate involves not just the total amount spent but how that's broken down. Conservative groups point to the state's per-pupil spending, which is well above the national average, as a sign that there is room to make cuts, while progressive groups argue that the per-pupil number is not representative of all students, and say students in low-income districts are not getting the resources need to succeed. And this year, as the nation marks 50 years since the LBJ commissioned Kerner Report examined racial disparities in education, advocates are looking at how New York is doing when it comes to equal opportunities for all students. Jasmine Gripper from the Alliance for Quality Education joins us to talk more about this.
