Assemblymember Jim Brennan has set up a [petition](http://assembly.state.ny.us/mem/James-F-Brennan/story/50906?ref=bklyner.com) asking Governor Cuomo to “restore the money cut from the school budget and give our children back $250 million in funding that is being taken away this school year and insist that there be no additional cuts next year.” It reads:

> Don’t hold 2012-2013 and 2012-2014 New York City School funding hostage to the teacher/principal rating system. It is wrong to penalize New York City school children because the failed collective bargaining process prevented an agreement from being reached in time. Halt mid-year budget cuts, reinstate last year’s increase into New York City’s base aid, and ensure next year’s funding!

You can see the petition and sign it online [here](http://assembly.state.ny.us/mem/James-F-Brennan/story/50906?ref=bklyner.com).
