Finance committee battles $8 million funding crisis

The finance committee is actively addressing a significant $8 million funding shortfall, meeting weekly with acting Superintendent Gerbino to strategize solutions. This year, the committee successfully recovered $1.8 million of the lost funds, thanks to the efforts of Senator Gopal and Assemblywomen Don Lynn and Peter Paul. The committee expressed gratitude for their support and noted ongoing efforts to secure additional grant money to further alleviate the financial challenges faced by the district.
