ALBANY, N.Y. --Most New Yorkers want to take state aid from rich school districts to help poorer, struggling schools, according to a poll released Thursday.
"The tough question is going to come when people are told: `Your district is rich,'" said Maurice Carroll, director of the Quinnipiac University poll.
To underscore his point, just 2 percent of those polled felt their school district's aid should be cut. Fifty-eight percent said their state aid should increase and 35 percent said it should remain the same.
