The aid is an increase of $494,161 over what Ossining received last year, said Assembly member Sandy Galef.
“We all advocated very hard for more school aid and I am excited that our goal was accomplished in this budget,” Galef said in a statement. “As the months and weeks progressed, I believe that I had more meetings and conversations with education aid advocates than anyone else.

Providing the necessary educational tools through this increased state aid will assist in bringing individual success to our youth.”
