Carter / Connors Funding
What Is Carter / Connors Funding?
When public schools fail to meet a child’s educational needs, families may have options for pursuing private placement. We help parents understand their options.
Carter Cases
Parents cover school tuition up front, then seek reimbursement from the city.
Connors Cases
Families who cannot afford the upfront cost seek direct funding to schools.
Access should not depend on your zip code
Families with more money, time, and institutional knowledge often have greater access to the tools required to navigate complex educational support systems.
Gatecrashers NYC puts those tools within reach for all families.
