“On behalf of the Board, we would like to extend our thanks and gratitude to Assemblyman Harvey Weisenberg, who has given so much to our community, the county, the State and to the school district for over 60 years,” said Board of Education President Darlene Tangney.

Tangney noted that Weisenberg has brought in more than $1.6 million for the District, provided tax relief by supporting the Star program, advocated for educational needs at the State level, among other significant efforts.
