District 24 Superintendent Madelene Taub-Chan gave attendees a breakdown on how much funding the district will receive. Contracts For Excellence is a way in which the city Department of Education (DOE) receives a portion of its overall budget in the form of Foundation Aid via the state, according to the DOE. These are monies that by state rules have to be distributed to certain schools and must be spent by those schools in specific program areas. “Every year the NYC Department of Education will receive a portion of money from foundations in the form of aid,” Taub-Chan said. Legislation passed in 2006 funds every public school so every child in the state has a right to a “sound basic education,” and in addition, the state has the responsibility to increase funding for city public schools, according to the DOE. -SEE CEC 24 ON PG. 28- Sunnyside Services Marks Milestone At Sunnyside Community Services’ (SCS) Annual Celebration on Tuesday, Oct. 28, guests including Queens Borough President Melinda Katz, Assemblywoman Catherine Nolan and City Council Majority Leader Jimmy Van Bramer joined friends and supporters at M.
