LUPINACCI TOURS CLEARY SCHOOL FOR THE DEAF
Lupinacci visits staff and students at the Cleary School for the Deaf.
Assemblyman Chad A. Lupinacci (R,C,I-South Huntington) toured the Cleary School for the Deaf in Nesconset on Friday, April 22, to see a first-hand look at the programs offered at the school, which has been educating hearing-impaired children since 1925.
The Cleary School is a private, state-supported program that serves hearing-impaired students from birth to 21 years of age with the goal of preparing children who are deaf to become active and contributing members of society.
“Every child deserves a quality education and innovative programs like those offered at the Cleary School for the Deaf give students with hearing disabilities an opportunity to thrive,” Lupinacci said. “I am proud to see this team of dedicated educators in action and thank them once again for inviting me to tour the school.”
