Elect Chris DiFilippo as your Voice to the Syosset School Board of Education

Running for the Syosset School Board.

My name is Chris DiFilippo and I’m running for a position on the Syosset School Board. I submitted my petition to the on Wednesday. I thank all the people for the overwhelming response who signed my petition. All of these same people have similar concerns never ending school taxes, highly paid administration with particular emphasis on the current Superintendent of Syosset Schools. Other families who send children to private school and seniors expressed concern that they no longer receive communications from our School District.

I believe the current BOE did the best they could, however we need new members who will work harder and manage the expenses. For the last few years many of the current BOE members have run for the position uncontested.  Now is the Time for Change.

I have lived in Woodbury for 30 years and have two children -- one of whom required Special Education Services.  As such, I am a strong advocate of students with special needs.
