Yonkers Insider: Tom Abinanti, NYS State Assemblyman, 92nd District: Two New Laws For Special Needs Students & Mt. P. Residents.

 

 

TWO NEW ABINANTI LAWS

Two Abinanti bills helping schools for students with special needs and the taxpayers of Mt. Pleasant were just signed into law by the Governor. The first bill ensures that minimum funding guarantees for regular public schools also apply to all schools for students with disabilities statewide. These schools include, for example, The School For The Deaf and Special Act Schools at Children's Village, etc. in Greenburgh.  The second bill extends to Mt. Pleasant the right to impose a room occupancy fee similar to the authorization that Abinanti obtained for Greenburgh and its villages a few years ago.
