Education
Chuck believes that we can’t maintain our standing as the greatest nation in the world if we don’t maintain the greatest education system in the world, and that promise of a brighter future for our students and our country depends on a dramatically improved education system, one that is accessible and affordable to all Americans. Chuck has fought to make sure New York’s students get the best possible education – from the first day of pre-k through high school graduation day – by increasing federal investments for proven programs that work in our schools. For middle-class families struggling to afford college, Chuck created the American Opportunity Tax Credit, which provides a $2,500 tax credit per year for college students and their families. He has also focused on supporting community colleges and worker-training programs that prepare students for in-demand jobs by partnering with local businesses to launch students directly into the work force.
