As part of our campaign for fiscal equity, our administration and Board of Education are working together to fight for Riverhead’s fair share of state funding. As residents of the Riverhead Central School District, how can you help? You can contact your state senator and legislator and governor to address these funding deficiencies. To assist, we have drafted a sample letter and complied contact information for Gov. Cuomo, Senator LaValle, Assemblyman Palumbo and Assemblyman Thiele. Please feel free to personalize your letters. Thank you.

Dear Mr. Thiele:
I am a resident of the Riverhead Central School District and call upon our state leaders to reverse the trend that has caused the following school districts to receive the lowest percentage of Foundation Aid from New York State:
Our districts receive less than 50% of their allocated Foundation Aid based on the formula. Currently, the average Foundation Aid funding level for school districts across the state is approximately 80%.
Since the Foundation Aid Formula was established in 2008, Riverhead has experienced:
Furthermore, Riverhead serves an ever-increasing number of students who receive free and reduced lunch. The Foundation Aid gap in these districts will continue to grow as their student needs and enrollments increase. We are simply asking that we be funded at the same level as our peers by providing these districts with at least 70% of their fully phased-in amount.
Sincerely,
_
