$185,000 in Lavine Grants Boost Glen Cove Schools

GLEN COVE, NEW YORK – Two grants secured by Assemblymember Charles Lavine (D-North Shore) will greatly aid the Glen Cove City School District. Lavine was at Glen Cove High School to announce the grants. One of the grants totaling $125,000 will be used to purchase new vehicles that will be used for various purposes, including transportation of supplies and equipment from one school building to another and for sports and club events. School officials say this grant is especially needed as existing district vehicles are aging and in need of constant repair and maintenance. The other grant, for $60,000, will enable Glen Cove High School to create a new career center where students can work with experts on building their resumes, developing interview skills, and searching for jobs. The center will be located on the school's main floor

Lavine said: "I am very pleased to have been able to secure this state funding to support the students of the City of Glen Cove. The new career center will help all students prepare for life after high school while the new vehicles will help school officials ensure that events run smoothly and critical supplies and equipment are where they need to be."
