(Long Island, NY) Assemblyman Edward Hennessey (D-Medford) announced that the final state budget includes increased funding for Suffolk County school districts.
“A first order of business for me when I took office was to connect with our schools. I sat down with school leaders and I listened to what they had to say. It is this information that I took to Albany so I could fight for our children’s fair share.
“Ensuring that our schools get the resources they need in order to provide a quality education was a priority for me during these budget negotiations,” said Assemblyman Hennessey. “We all know that if we are to enjoy a bright and secure future, we have to take care of our children. The key lies in making sure they get a quality education from pre-k to college.”
