Once a week Spanish language students from Port Chester High School visit younger students at Park Avenue School. Together they practice their Spanish all while having fun.
Every year for the past decade, members of the Harmed Suburban Five - Port Chester, Glen Cove, Westbury, Ossining and Riverhead - have urged Albany for increased funding.
We are overwhelmingly different from other districts in New York State in that we are experiencing:
• Significant enrollment growth
• Nearly a 50% increase in student receiving Free & Reduced Lunch
• Substantial decrease in our communities’ combined income & property wealth ratio
• Significant increase in students requiring English Language Learning resources
The Harmed Suburban 5 receives less than 50% of our Foundation Aid level, while the state average is 80%. This directly impacts our students.
ALL children from across the state should be treated fairly!
