State Assemblymember Dana Levenberg recently secured $275,000 in grant funding for school districts in Assembly District 95. The recipients of funding are:

• Haldane Central School District for Pre-Kindergarten Instructional & Assessment Materials ($20,000)

The grants were secured through New York State’s Community Resiliency, Economic Sustainability and Technology (CREST) program and the fiscal year 2025 state budget, as part of New York State’s ongoing efforts to support local communities and their economic development.

Of the grant awards, Levenberg said, "Schools are at the heart of every community, and supporting programs that enhance learning, safety, and student opportunities is always a priority for me. These investments will make a real difference for students, educators, and families, and I look forward to seeing the positive impact in the classrooms and throughout our communities.”

Stephen Walker, Superintendent of the Croton Harmon School District, said: “Spencer Field is more than goals and lines—it’s a place where moments are made, friendships are formed, and character is built. This field is important not only to sport, but to community, growth, and Tiger Pride – past, present, and future. We truly appreciate Assemblymember Levenberg’s support for this project that benefits so many in the Croton-Harmon School District.” 

Gail Duffy, Superintendent of the Haldane Central School District, said: "On behalf of the Haldane Central School district and community, it is my pleasure to thank Assemblymember Dana Levenberg for her support for our Pre-Kindergarten program. Haldane’s new Pre-K program is off to a great start and our youngest learners are bringing a tremendous amount of joy and excitement to the campus. Our upper elementary classes are already partnering with them as reading buddies and for other special projects.” 

Ronald Hattar, Superintendent of the Yorktown Central School District, said: "We are grateful to Assemblymember Levenberg for securing funds that will enhance The Yorktown Central School District's music programs and further enrich the educational experience for our students."

Neil Boyle, District Superintendent of Putnam-Northern Westchester BOCES said: “Thank you to Assemblymember Levenberg for supporting our greenhouse and hydroponics initiatives. This investment will have a lasting, positive impact on student learning by providing hands-on opportunities to explore sustainability, science, and agriculture.”

In a recent release, Michael A. Tromblee, Superintendent of Hendrick Hudson Central School District, said: “Thank you Assemblymember Levenberg for your continued support for Hendrick Hudson.” 

“I applaud the work of our talented educators and school leaders who strive to identify and meet the needs of all of our students,” said Levenberg. “I’m proud to deliver these grants to school districts across Assembly District 95.”
