Parent Advocacy
What can you do as a parent to support our schools?
Help us obtain our rightful school aid by contacting state-elected officials and others who influence state funding for education.
Send emails and make phone calls to state officials before mid-March, when a state budget is normally passed.
Please click on the "Port Chester's Foundation Aid" link at right. You will be redirected to our Change.org site, where you can sign a petition that will be shared with government officials.
