Senator Carlucci & School Officials Hold Ceremony to Unveil New Front Entrance at Ossining High School

Ossining, NY – Senator David Carlucci (D-Rockland/Westchester) joined Ossining Superintendent Ray Sanchez, parents, and students for a ceremony to unveil Ossining High School’s new front entrance.

The entrance now includes a security check area for visitors to sign in; something school officials said was a major security upgrade. Previously, visitors to the school would enter into the hallway.

“We are thankful to Senator Carlucci for securing $1 million in state grant money to renovate the front entrance. This new entrance ensures we create a safe and welcoming entrance for our families, students and community, said Ossining Superintendent Ray Sanchez.

Senator Carlucci secured a $1 million SAM grant for the renovation project in 2016. Work on the entrance began in May of 2018 and finished in October.

“It’s exciting to see the work complete. This is about keeping our students safe and offering them an inviting place to come and learn,” said Senator David Carlucci. “We know how critical funding is to the Ossining School District, and I am looking forward to working with Senate Education Committee Chairwoman Shelley Mayer on increasing Foundation Aid for our schools. Under democratic leadership, we must get the funding to our schools that meets their needs.”
