New York State Exposed Education

While many of our schools and teachers are outstanding examples of excellence in education, New York State Exposed: Education shines a light where the system is failing our children. We know a failure in education costs our community in crime, poverty, and wasted tax dollars. But more importantly, it steals the hope and potential from our children. Education impacts everyone - this is why we produce the series New York State Exposed: Education.
