To the Editor:

New York State is currently $63 billion in debt. It is forecasted for the next four years to climb up to $71.8 billion!

In New York State, the taxes cost per student for 2018 is $21,2060. At Berne-Knox-Westerlo, the cost per student is $28,604 in 2018! The BKW student enrollment continues to steadily decline, as it has been for more than 10 years — from 1,040 to 768 students currently.

This is why the BKW community needs to support and elect new leadership. Vote May 21 for Robin Becker and Mackenzie Hempstead, women of great courage who will give the BKW community hope for our future!
