Dear Senator Croci and Assemblyman Murray:

I'd like to take this opportunity to thank you for your support of the increase in tuition rates for school-aged 853 schools and Special Act School Districts, as well as your support on behalf of the 4410 schools. As a parent of a child who attends a non-profit 4410 pre-school, I can attest to the importance of the programs and services provided to its students,  all of which are contingent upon the requested incremental rate enhancements.   On behalf of my child, and all children with special needs who receive critical therapeutic and educational services through their schools, I am requesting that you advocate on behalf of my child to the State Education Department and Division of the Budget to increase the tuition rate for school aged providers  by a figure of 4%, similar to what was approved for the school age programs.  Please make these recommendations prior to the beginning of the upcoming school year on 7/1/15.  Thank You!

Sincerely,

<<Insert Your Name Here>>

Parent at the New Interdisciplinary School (NIS)
