The New York Adequacy Study, a state-of-the-art independent costing-out study, is being performed on behalf of CFE by a team of the nation's leading educational finance experts; the final report by the team containing district-by-district figures will be released by February of 2004. AQE supporters around the state will be testifying at hearings conducted by the New York State Commission on Education Reform, established by the Governor to address the CFE decision in Buffalo on December 18th, and Rochester on December 19th.
