Issue Position: Improving Our Schools

Issue Position

As the only Senator from New York City who has taught in the public schools, Toby Stavisky has been a tireless advocate for improving education. She was a strong supporter of New York's landmark Universal Pre-K program to give all children a shot at success. As a graduate of the Bronx High School of Science and the mother of a Bronx Science graduate, she strongly supports preserving the SHSAT exam. She also wrote the law that forced colleges to address domestic violence and stalking by providing incoming students with information on their rights, prevention, penalties and the college's response to incidents, including assistance for victims.
