MDS Director of Development and Community Outreach, Josh Caplan, joined a coalition of religious schools throughout New York State to advocate for funding from state government. The focus was on the Education Investment Tax Credit. Assemblyman Michael Simanowitz (pictured here, right, with Caplan) is a

co-sponsor of the bill and one of several Orthodox Jewish members of the State Assembly. If passed, this bill would provide tax credits for donors to school scholarship funds.
