Pearl River, NY -- (6/1/16) Tom DePrisco, candidate for the 38th Senate District in New York, today released the following statement:
"There is a definite need for unwavering determination and resolute leadership to develop a long-term solution for East Ramapo. As a former teacher and highly experienced school board member, I am truly disheartened and disgusted how year after year this continues. I have consistently stated to our elected representatives in Albany the need for a fiscal monitor with real-time veto power. I sincerely hope that within the next few weeks, by the end of the legislative session, an agreement can be reached.
Please keep in mind that $5 million per year is only a band-aid approach. Mr. Walcott reported that the school district needs nearly $14 million per year to return the lost programs and services for the children.
With my school board governance expertise and problem-solving capabilities, I am confident that I could help develop a much needed long-term resolution for East Ramapo."
