WEST NYACK, NY – Senator David Carlucci (D-Rockland/Orange), joined by fellow elected officials Assemblywoman Ellen Jaffee and Chairwoman of the Rockland County Legislature Harriet Cornell, recently attended Leadership Rockland’s Education and Developing Human Capital Day at BOCES in West Nyack. 

The three member panel discussed a range of important issues affecting Rockland County, including mandate relief for school districts, the recent tax reform measure passed in the state legislature, and long term planning strategies to attract and retain businesses.

The panel was moderated by Roberta Zampolin, a retired Superintendent from Nyack Union Free School District and Past Chair of Leadership Rockland.
