Ossining School District Votes To Address Educational Inequity

The Ossining Board of Education has authorized Superintendent of Schools Raymond Sanchez to write a letter of support for the Middletown City School District's complaint with the U.S. Department of Education's Office of Civil Rights, which demands that New York state correct "its inequitable and discriminatory funding system." Noting that Ossining "continues to struggle to marshal the resources it needs to ensure that all students receive the best possible education," the Ossining School District will also provide the Office of Civil Rights with data demonstrating the impact that "discriminatory state aid" has had on Ossining and other high needs, low resources districts.
