Nassau County STEP Program Deadline Extended to JANUARY 18TH!
The STEP Program Wants to Help! Nassau County is urging residents to apply for the FEMA funded Sheltering and Temporary Essential Power (STEP) Program before the new deadline of January 18th. It is the intent of this project to provide temporary power, heat and hot water to residential homes in the areas adversely affected by Hurricane Sandy so as to allow residents to remain home while they wait on their permanent repairs. The STEP Program can provide up to four (4) electric baseboard heaters, an electric water heater and can also replace an electrical panel. In conjunction with these services, STEP is working with a volunteer mold program to provide remediation for homes affected by the storm. Additionally, they are working with a licensed contractor to provide limited carpentry services to protect the exterior of people’s homes and roofs from the elements. All of this is provided at no cost to you! Residents seeking assistance through the Nassau County STEP Program should dial 516-573-0315. After an assessment is conducted, you will be matched up with a contractor who will contact you to schedule the installation. The STEP program’s hours of operation are 9am-9pm seven (7) days a week. They are working around the clock to help people as quickly as possible. The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) Nassau County STEP Program has thus far assessed over 5,400 homes. In order to be a part of this program, you need to have your home assessed by January 18th. You can follow the program on facebook and twitter to help spread the word to local residents who need help!

Has anybody proposed dismantling the high school district......From the way I understand they have tried unsuccessfully to combine, well then how about saving moneu and splitting up the 3 high schools...This was we wont need 2 administrations......

So Lu Scala never had any children so it might be safe to say you have never been to a PTA meeting…Read More or a School Board meeting or a budget presentation so then you would have no idea how the money is spent good or bad. I'm sorry that your neighbors make more than you but like anything else you get what you pay for there are educational requirements for teaching and administration jobs, I'm sure you would be happy if all the school personnel could be replaced by minimum wage earners or better yet we could close all the schools after all you have been out of school for 40 years so you don't need them anymore, but thats not how it works. Why is always the uninformed that speak loudest and longest?

A bit of a surprise considering kids come home with a supply list a mile long (and average $40-$75).
