Letter To The Editor: Schnecker Is Innovative, Inclusive

Dear Editor,

This letter is to show support for the re-election of Frank Schnecker to the Ossining School Board. Our family has lived in this welcoming, vibrant, inclusive, safe and supportive community for over 20 years, where our 2 amazing children attended and graduated from the Ossining School District. We continue to enjoy and be involved in this beautiful community that has nurtured and educated our children.

We have known Frank over the years both as a friend and an advocate. His passion for Ossining and the School District have never been in question. He led campaign efforts to secure much needed recurring education funding for Ossining from NY State, which resulted in millions of additional funding annually for Ossining schools. He has supported meaningful and engaging curricula that have provided opportunities in the arts, athletics and academics for all students. In addition to Frank's sound and balanced understanding of the current educational challenges, he has extensive experience working with parents, teachers and administrators. These qualities and achievements as well as his ability to successfully navigate the complex dynamics of a diverse community, make him the best candidate for the board.

Frank has continuously and passionately demonstrated his commitment to the success of our schools by being forward-thinking and innovative in identifying pragmatic solutions that cater to the diverse needs of our students.

Please join us by casting your vote to re-elect Frank Schnecker for an inclusive, progressive, innovative and strong Ossining School Board leadership!

Vanessa & Farai Nyoni
