To All residents:
We have spoken to some state/county officials and they are in agreement with us that a calling campaign next week would be a good idea. Please take the time ASAP and call the representatives listed below. This along with our successful letter writing campaign and petitions will send a strong, unified message. As A community we have a strong voice.
Call our NY State Representatives Now!!
Let them know that Plainedge School District must receive more state aid!
Call everyone listed below before March 31
Follow the script
My name is ____________________ and I am calling to let you know I support Bill
A7702 to change the school aid funding formula to allow for a regional cost adjustment. Nassau County receives the least amount of state school aid in NYS, with only 17% of our school funding coming from the state. Nassau has more than 7% of the students in New York State, but is getting less than 4% of the state aid!!
I am also requesting that Plainedge School District receive a special appropriation and a substantial increase in state aid as we have no commercial property base and most of the funding for Plainedge schools comes from the property owners. We may be property rich, but we are cash poor!! This is unfair and we need you to take action to help us.
Thank you for your time and help. We will be following the state budget process!!

Governor George Pataki
(518) 474-8390
Senator Joseph Bruno
Senate Majority Leader
(518) 455-3191
