Along with their regular teachers and school administrators, students at Tarrytown’s Washington Irving School had a few extra adults there to greet them Tuesday morning, the opening day of the school year. Governor Kathy Hochul, accompanied by Senate Majority Leader Andrea Stewart-Cousins and County Executive George Latimer stopped in to say “hi” and to talk money.
Hochul noted how the state had just release $108 million to deal with the mental health issues and learning losses that schools across the state are coping with post-pandemic. “We have money on the table to support it as well as our record investment in education, $34.5 billion, as well as all kinds of support for our schools,” she said.
