Senator Skoufis Secures $40K for Valley Central School District
Senator James Skoufis (D-Hudson Valley) announced that he secured $40,000 in vital funding for the Valley Central School District to help expand resources to students.
“It’s critical that our students have access to quality resources to help them best succeed and expand their horizons,” said Senator Skoufis. “I was proud to fight for this funding which will be used to provide educational resources to the students and I remain committed as ever in ensuring they get the best programming and education possible.”
John Xanthis, Superintendent of the Valley Central School District said, “We are grateful to Senator Skoufis for bringing this much-needed funding of $40,000 to our school district. This will be applied to resources that will be directly used by our students who will immensely benefit from this. I look forward to continuing to work with the Senator to provide our students with the resources they deserve.”
Skoufis fought through the end of legislative session to ensure that this funding was brought back to the school district and has long championed access to quality education in New York State. Last year, he successfully secured an agreement to achieve universal, full-day kindergarten in New York State. Skoufis plans to make more funding announcements in the weeks to come.
