CARING FOR Veterans Town of OB to bring outdoor dining into the streets
Nassau County Legislator Joshua Lafazan (Woodbury) recently partnered with the Syosset Home Depot to coordinate a donation of dozens care packages to Veterans of
Foreign Wars (VFW) Syosset Post 6934 as part of his office’s ongoing COVID-19 relief efforts. Leaders of the Syosset VFW are delivering those the care packages to local senior
veterans to ensure they can remain stocked up on essential supplies without leaving home.

The Return of the Drive In Movie
Home of the Westbury Drive-In, the last drive-in movie theatre on Long Island, the Town of Oyster Bay will soon see the return of drivein movies for the first time in over 22 years. Free popup theatres will offer drivein experiences to residents only for five straight weeks,
on Tuesdays and Thursdays, beginning on May 28th.
Town Supervisor Joseph Saladino stated, “Everyone loves a good comeback story, and everyone loves the movies. For the first-time in two decades, drive-in movies will return to the Town of Oyster Bay for families and seniors
to watch great Hollywood hits from the comfort of their own car while taking in the summer breeze. Join us at these pop-up drive-in movie theatres and take these rare opportunities sit back, relax and enjoy the show.”

BY GARY SIMEONE
With Long Island set to begin Phase one of reopening the economy this week, many businesses are preparing themselves to reopen their doors to customers. Last week the Town of Oyster Bay Got a head start on the process by waiving permit fees and applications necessary for restaurants to reopen.
Town officials gathered with members of the local business community last Wednesday in Oyster Bay to announce the initiative which would help restaurants begin the process of reopening in a safe and responsible manner.
“We want to make the process of reopening as painless as possible for the benefit of residents and businesses alike, while ensuring the highest level of safety,” said Town Supervisor, Joe Saladino. “With likely limitations on indoor dining expected once restaurants are permitted to reopen, new outdoor dining options and downtown road closures can help our communities and local economy revive In these unprecedented times.”
Outdoor seating is currently available through a permit process provided that seating is available on the restaurants property and the business has parking availability.
Many restaurants, particularly
in high traffic areas, do not have the necessary space to provide for outdoor dining.
“This new initiative will allow for restaurants located in downtown business districts to work with their local chamber’s of commerce to achieve road closures, which would allow for outdoor seating for restaurant patrons and increased walkability for area residents,” said Saladino.
Town councilman, Steve Labriola, said his administration was committed to helping businesses recover from the closures and layoffs due to the pandemic.
“We are committed to helping small businesses recover from the months of closure forced upon them by the state government,” said Labriola. “This town board will do everything in its power to help employer’s get back up and running, and these expanded outdoor dining options will certainly offer a greater opportunity to catch-up on lost business while serving residents who have long been housebound.”
Businesses do not have to file an application with the Town if certain standards are met. These include sidewalks remaining open to accommodate pedestrians, tables being separated by over six feet for safety and all restaurants ensuring that their business

Hicksville High School graduation is ON!
Hicksville High School has announced that it will hold a Commencement Ceremony on June 27th at 9 a.m. To accomplish the graduation, the high school will use a hybrid ceremony comprised of a virtual ceremony and vehicle processional. The Class of 2020 will have the opportunity to wear their caps and gowns, receive their diplomas, and have photos taken in front of the high school.
“It is important that we provide our seniors with a Graduation Ceremony,” commented Principal Raymond Williams. “They have worked diligently to reach this milestone and we want our students to feel as proud of themselves as we are.”
The community can safely watch the ceremony from their homes at 9 a.m. with a link posted before the event on the District and HHS websites. Graduation 2020 will feature pre-recorded speeches by Board of Education representatives Kevin Carroll and Carla Hoene, Superintendent Marianne Litzman, Principal Raymond Williams, and Class of 2020 Valedictorian Sejal Gupta, who will be attending Massachusetts Institute of Technology in the fall, and Salutatorian Alaha Nasari, who will be attending Harvard in the fall.
For the vehicle procession portion of the ceremony, the members of the Class of 2020 will be notified of a specific time for the line up of vehicles at a location that begins in the high school parking lot. The graduating seniors will move in the vehicle processional to the bus circle at the front of the high school to receive their diplomas. They will continue along the circle to a photo location where a photographer from
Hicksville High School’s Class of 2019 tossed their mortarboards in celebration at last year’s Graduation. This year’s Graduation for the Class of 2020 will look a bit different due to the pandemic, but HHS seniors will have the opportunity to “walk” in their caps and gowns to receive their diplomas.
Lifetouch will take an official photo of each graduate with Principal Williams, Superintendent Litzman, and a member of the Board of Education.
In case of rain on Saturday, June 27th, the vehicle processional only will

Cleanup to begin at contaminated ballfield
The Town of Oyster Bay has announced that remediation of the long-shuttered contaminated ballfield at Bethpage Community Park is slated to get underway this summer. This week, final construction of a thermal well is being conducted, which will remove soil contaminants at the former Grumman dumpsite through a project performed by Northrup Grumman with State Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) oversight.
“This section of the park has been closed to the public for many years to ensure the highest level of caution and safety. We of course all want to see it finally cleaned up, but we want to see it done right,” said Town of Oyster Bay Supervisor Joseph Saladino. “Thanks to the Town’s efforts together with the DEC, this dormant property is ready for a new chapter.”
Following extensive planning and testing by the Town and DEC, the Grumman Corporation is taking action to remediate two types of contamination under the ballfield. The current work to be performed is Phase 1 of the cleanup efforts, which addresses compounds found in the air. Grumman has installed a wellfield in the ballfield area at the park, which provides two functions; one set of wells heat the soil, the second set
create a vacuum to capture the released gases created when the soil is heated. While the wells and necessary piping have been installed in the ballfield, the actual remediation system will be located on the adjacent Grumman-owned property. Additional measures and precautions are also being put in place to ensure no soil vapors are released into the air, including an installation of a cover over the wellfield site.
“Since the beginning, the Town has been carefully monitoring and overseeing the work being done at this site.
Throughout the entirety of this project, precautions are being put in place to guarantee the safeguards our residents and this community deserve,”
Supervisor Saladino said. “We will continue to accept nothing less than the highest level of cleanup at this location.”
Bethpage Community Park was closed to the public in 2002 when elevated levels of soil contamination were first discovered. Sections reopened following extensive testing, and in 2006 the park underwent a significant remediation project. The ballfield, however, remained closed as contamination levels reached far below ground and the cleanup required for full remediation was exorbitant. Once this new system

is started, it is expected to take 9-12 months to achieve full cleanup of the soil at the ballfield. This will be measured through soil sampling, and once achieved the system will be removed,
allowing for Phase 2 of the project to get underway, which includes excavation of contaminated soil at the property.

Four candidates vie for Syosset School Board seats
BY RIKKI MASSAND
Four candidates have emerged for the most unconventional Syosset Central School District board of education race in memory. Longtime Syosset Schools Trustee Susan Parker is leaving the board at the end of her term June 30.
For the 2020 election, every (mail-in) ballot is due into the office of Syosset District Clerk Francine Benjamin by 5 p.m. on Tuesday, June 9.
This year two incumbent trustees are seeking reelection to a second term on Syosset’s school board, Carol Cheng and Anna Levitan, as each was victorious in their 2017 campaigns. Incumbents have paired with election newcomers on a campaign trail -- Anna Levitan’s running mate is Brian Grieco; Carol Cheng’s running mate is Susan Falcove.
There’s no usual array of candidate’s lawn signs in the area, as the four candidates are friendly with each other and they collectively agreed that during the COVID-19 pandemic they support and encourage all the lawn signs and inspirational messages residents have placed in visible spots around Syosset and Woodbury honoring the essential workers, healthcare workers, Police/ Fire/EMS and other first responders and doctors and nurses on the front lines of the pandemic response.
Carol Cheng
Three years on the board went by pretty fast but very productively too for Carol Cheng, who was elected to her first term in May of 2017. She has three children in the district, in grades 7, 9 and 11.
Carol Cheng is a Stony Brook University graduate with corporate career experience in finance and budgeting with PwC and CitiGroup in Manhattan. In one of her first major volunteer-led efforts Cheng served as an advisory board member for Stony Brook Medicine’s Community Relations division and she helped the university develop a three-year action and communications plan designed to improve health awareness and outreach.
Cheng noted the importance of accounting for every penny spent with 10 school buildings to manage and the budget process this year including adjustments for the pandemic and careful planning for New York State Aid.
“Right now the most important functions for our schools are efficient budgeting and making sure distance learning continues smoothly for every child in the district. We need to be consistent in our curriculum. Now more than ever we need to continue making strides with mental health awareness in our district. Teachers are doing a great job keeping in touch with students and we will continue supporting teacher outreach,” she explained.
She learned much about the district before ever moving to Syosset,
and she noted that the reputation for a high-quality education has only grown over the years.
In October 2019 she went to Rochester for the annual New York State School Boards Association (NYSSBA) Convention and Education Expo, and Syosset schools were featured in one presentation about Elementary grades’ report cards.
“I knew Syosset was a great district; that is why we moved here before starting a family. When I joined the Board of Ed. I experienced more of our leadership as a lighthouse district for much of Long Island and New York State, and we share feedback on piloted programs with other schools in terms of distance learning, the curriculum, technology, and diversity -- the district leads in every way. Our administration and board has endeavored to make sure there’s equal opportunities among all school buildings, for every child,” she said.
Cheng believes that distance learning has given parents an opportunity to interact more with kids as they sit in front of a computer for classes, and to hopefully achieve more balance in the students’ time commitments to academics as well as home life.
In addition to school board, Cheng is a board member of the Chinese American Association of Syosset (CAAS). During the pandemic CAAS has worked with the Long Island Chinese American Association on fundraising, raising over $10,0000 for COVID-19 relief efforts such as donations of masks to the police precincts and area hospitals, including Northwell Health Syosset and Plainview Hospitals.
Anna Levitan
In 2017 Anna Levitan was elected to the Board of Education on the heels of her many PTA and volunteer efforts as well as career background as the owner of Chyten Premier Tutoring and Test Prep at 575 Underhill Boulevard. Over the years here, Levitan has excelled at connecting to parents with children at all levels of the school district. Her college prep experiences with so many Syosset/Woodbury families and students led to better perspectives and insights on the range of opportunities and pursuits Syosset’s student body has had and will continue to have, and she’s firmly rooted in continuing strong advocacy for every facet of program planning.
During the pandemic she’s spoken with many Syosset Schools parents and community members about transitions to distance learning and technology, including the 1:1 Chromebook initiative and other goals for the district. The spectrum of opinions she’s listened to covers many concerns as well as much positive feedback, but Levitan stays grounded and makes sure to take each person’s view into account. Her enthu-
siasm and approachable demeanor is the epitome of the Syosset Board of Ed.’s methods of active listening, consistency and transparency in decision-making.
“I think my middle name should be ‘Compromise’ because I enjoy the process to reach a conclusion that works best. You really find that people can be convinced of the opposite of what makes sense to you and airing the ideas can help illuminate every consideration. In today’s society it is invaluable to find the middle ground at each opportunity,” Levitan said.
Levitan has three kids, and her oldest graduated from SHS in 2019 and is wrapping up her first year at the University of Miami. With a son now in Syosset High, she points out the different ways the district forges paths for students to pursue their passions -- for her oldest, it was in music and performing arts. Her son, a junior at SHS, is into Congressional debate, student government, forensics, Breaking Borders and Syosset DECA (Distributive Education Clubs of America).
Levitan also mentions the language learning and immersion experiences within Syosset High’s curriculum, holding a particular interest for her as she grew up in Russia learning five languages.
Choosing to take on another three years and potentially more on the school board starts with Levitan knowing the expertise and factors she brings to the 9-member board. She tells the Advance that Syosset/Woodbury residents and taxpayers should know that Syosset Central School District “takes care of all” and plans strategically.
“There’s much numbers-crunching and prioritizing ahead. My idea continues to be the focus on our kids -- all of us, from generations before to now, moved to Syosset for a reason. As parents we keep the value of education very close to our hearts because that translates into everything for the children’s future and their own values. This will remain a balancing act, but I am student-centric in relating to our parents that value the kids’ experiences and potential with a diverse and all-encompassing program for our schools. Running the business and talking with local parents about their kids’ interests, for me it is so important to preserve the programmatic elements -- especially with budgeting during this pandemic. I know what other area districts have and it is not comparable to Syosset’s dedicated programs, instruction and activities,” she said.
Anna is proud that Syosset Central Schools offer experiences to children and families “representative of the real world” in both diversity, quality and in the complement of talents of professionals on the school board.
For that reason she believes in the dedication and PTA experience the
Brian Grieco, Levitan’s running mate this year, would add,
“I see what everyone brings to our table and when I met Brian, learning he chaired the extravaganza of Robbins Lane’s Rec. Night for kids, which I worked on too with Robbins Lane PTA before, I knew immediately one thing we have in common is being dedicated parents. Then for professional expertise, as a finance person someone like Brian can help us implement a vision for education -- he can interpret the numbers the administration is presenting, and that would be very valuable,” she said.
Susan Falcove
Despite never running for the Board of Ed. before Susan Falcove brings plenty of experience, both on the professional side as a lawyer whose bachelor’s degree and early career was in Finance, and on the homefront as a mom to four children currently in Syosset Central Schools. She was thinking of running for school board for several years but she felt the time was right, right now.
Cheng and Falcove were elementary school presidents at the same time, academic year 2014-2015, at two different Syosset elementary schools. Over six years they’ve developed a friendship and eventually their kids were in the same schools, South Woods Elementary and Syosset High School. Cheng admires the spirit of volunteering for school board Falcove brings, and how she will find time to do the work.
Falcove has four kids in the district -- her oldest son is a 10th grader at SHS; at South Woods her oldest daughter is in 8th grade, and another son is in 6th grade, and the youngest is a girl in 3rd grade at Robbins Lane Elementary School. When her sophomore was a first grader she joined the PTA, and a year later she was running PTA committee meetings and events, and when he went into 5th grade she became Robbins Lane PTA president. The grade ranges allow her to see her children and their peers develop and pursue interests from STEM and academics to arts and sports.
“Such a beautiful part of Syosset and what drew us here is that the district is so diverse in every aspect. That is what makes the school system such a good fit for us as each child has a place or activity where they can shine and explore their interests,” Falcove said.
A Commack native, Falcove holds a JD from Fordham Law School and a bachelor’s in Finance with a minor in business law from Penn State. Her husband has an MBA from Columbia and works in Finance in Manhattan, although he isn’t commuting into the city at the moment., Susan practices in the area of family law and calls herself “an unusual combination, being an attorney with a love of business and

Chamber of Commerce hears tips on virtual marketing
BY RIKKI MASSAND
During its Zoom meeting on Thursday, May 21, the Syosset Woodbury Chamber of Commerce heard a virtual presentation from ‘Messaging’ specialist Glenn Rudin, entrepreneur of East Northport-based Always Been Creative, Inc.
Rudin is a former Syosset resident who lived in Hidden Ridge years ago. He has spent 25 years in sales and marketing since earning his degree in business and management from the University of Maryland. Last week Rudin told the Chamber of Commerce “we are all old dogs but we need to learn some new tricks! Embrace the Moment, Welcome Challenge and Create a new Reality.”
Syosset Woodbury Chamber President Maureen Nickel, a Woodbury resident who is the owner of BrightStar Home Health Care, introduced Rudin to the Chamber in the latest of many Chamber Zoom networking sessions since early April. While last Thursday was a Chamber general meeting, its recent “Zooms” featured resources and tips for business people. An April session on PPP loans was led by Lauren Linakis of the U.S. Small Business Development Center at Farmingdale State College.
Rudin says all businesspeople and professionals must adapt and communicate in this difficult time, whether through Zoom or new mass marketing. He asked over 20 Chamber members who participated, “if you are on the other side of the Zoom session/call, would You do business with You from home?”
“Now more than ever it is really important to think about differentiation, adding value and creating new value for your customers. The people who have supported your businesses for years, up to March in person and now possibly remotely, are still out there and you cannot forget them. Call them, write them, email them. It does not have to be business-based only; you can just send them emails that state you miss them and you look forward to the days when you can see some type of normal interactions again. But the last thing you want to do is forget who the customers/clients are and not be in touch with them,” Rudin said.
He says time should be taken to consider what message would resonate the most for the brand and business you are in, and who your clients are.
One example he used was how America’s two most famous cereal companies, Post and Kellogg’s, responded to economic catastrophe during the Great Depression. Rudin showed the Chamber how Post took the conservative approach and “hunkered down” while their competition Kellogg’ss doubled its marketing expenditures and became even more aggressive to put products on the minds of consumers. Rudin has
a PowerPoint documenting how over 90 years later, “Kellogg’s has never relinquished its market dominance.”
“Post decided it would lay people off and save money and hunker down. People stopped hearing from Post and the customer started to forget why they wanted Post cereals. On the other hand, Kellogg’s said ‘people still have to eat’ so we are not going to cut back, we are going to market even more aggressively and to push marketing on the fact that cereal is a way that Americans love to start their day. What happened? Post went down and Kellogg’s went up -- to this day, Kellogg’s has about twice the market share that Post has. The lesson is that your customers are more comfortable when they are hearing from you -- you must need to be thoughtful about how strongly you are selling them on the programs that you have in-place. Just don’t disappear,” Rudin said.
A message for the Chamber was that during COVID-19’s impact on operations, they can each continue to build, maintain and network effectively. Rudin stressed the need to consider both the customers of yesterday who can come back and learn what you’re doing now, as well as the new markets that can be tapped.
“You all have competitors in the marketplace and if your competitors are doing what Post cereal did during the Great Depression, then what a tremendous opportunity for you to market to their customers who are not hearing from them -- don’t forget those customers,” he advised.
Chamber members were presented with a universal Pro Forma worksheet: “Fleshing out Purpose & Positioning.” Rudin noted that many businesses do not take time often enough, even prior to COVID-19, to ask “why do we matter?”
“There is no better time than right now to come up with a new ‘why’ -- Consider, ‘Why you are the person’ or ‘What value do you bring?’ and ‘How do you provide services or products better than competition? What do they get from you that they don’t get from somebody else?” he said.
Rudin suggests the analogy of businesses imagining their services as a product on a store shelf, and how more prominent they can appear with a focus on differentiation and without other products stacked on the shelves.
“There is competition out there no matter what business you’re in. Name the differentiation point -- doing it bet-
ter, faster, stronger, more efficiently, cheaper -- you have got to have something in order to displace somebody else who does what you do,” Rudin explained.
Basic points of proper etiquette and keeping prepared for all Zoom sessions were reviewed during Thursday’s presentation. Rudin reminded Chamber members that keeping up a good appearance and professional background, or a customized background, can only help during online sessions: “55% of the population still bases its impression of you based on how you look….when you show up, whether on Zoom or in-person, you must look the part that you’re playing to be the businessperson you are. Remember we can see you!”
One other suggestion is to add some lighting behind the computer screen/ laptop/iPad’s positioning so that you can be seen clearer on a Zoom call.
As for Elevator Pitch openings Rudin put out a checklist different industries and chamber businesses could select from as an icebreaker or to elaborate on their services or products. Rudin’s advice is to find “a pain point, important fact or advantage….with Enthusiasm, please!”
A Zoom meeting was held by the Syosset Woodbury Chamber of Commerce to discuss virtual marketing.
Wisdom Lane students named winners in essay contest
Three students from Wisdom Lane Middle School were recently recognized as winners in a regional essay contest. The students, who are members of the school’s Earth and Space Club, placed first, second and third in the contest which is sponsored by the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics Space Systems Technical committee.
The winners of the contest were 8th grader, Alex Gao, who placed first, 8th grader, Dylan Muterspaw and 7th grader, Ashley Wilson, who placed second and third respectively.
Vanessa Kowalczyk, science teacher at Wisdom Lane, said she was proud of the students hard work and innovation with their essay writing.
“Ms. (Leslie) Maynard and I can’t express enough how proud we are of these students who display a love for science with their participation in the SSTC essay contest,” said Kowalczyk. “They represent the hard work and passion that we consider ourselves lucky to witness as teachers. It’s truly wonderful to see their efforts recognized by the AIAA said SSTC.”
Since 2015, the two teachers have helped guide students in the club to submit their entries into the essay contest. At least one student every year has won at the regional level and some have earned national recognition for their submissions.
For this year’s contest, students were instructed to write, in 1,000 words or less, how advanced they think Space technology and exploration will be in
fifty years.
The grading criteria is based on a student’s original idea, soundness of logic to develop an idea, realism of the idea and the quality of the composition.
Gao said that it felt good to be recognized in the essay contest after putting a lot of thought and effort into his submission.
“When I was writing the essay, I wasn’t expecting much out of it, so getting first place was really surprising,” said Gao. “Now I’m keeping my hopes up for a potential victory in the national contest.”
In his essay, he focused on two central topics that he thought was interesting and likely in the future of space exploration.
“Those focuses were on asteroid mining and commercial space travel,” said Gao. “I said that the potential possibilities of extracting raw materials from asteroids is endless, and that it would develop the world and all of humanity. In regards to commercial space travel, I predicted that a price of a trip into space would likely decrease dramatically to the point of it being affordable to an ordinary person and not only celebrities and rich people.”
Ashley Wilson said she started writing her essay about some of humanity’s many accomplishments in space exploration in the past sixty years and challenges we can look forward to.
“My favorite planet in our galaxy is Mars and it’s also the closest planet to colonize near Earth. I wrote about the many challenges to reach our destina-

remain on their property.
Town councilwoman, Vicki Walsh, said bringing back the spirit and fun of the downtown area was everybody’s ultimate goal.
“Not only will our business own-
tion in the near future,” said Wilson. “I also touched upon the many ways on how we might possibly be able to overcome these challenges that lay ahead of us.”
She said she was shocked that she came in third place and is very proud of her accomplishment.
“It is truly an honor to be recognized in the SSTC contest this year. I am still trying to wrap my head around I came in third place. It really was an incredible experience and I learned many new things about our galaxy. This is one of my passions and I will continue to study and research about our wonderful but mysterious space.”
Dylan Muterspaw essay focused on combining virtual reality technology with space exploration technology.
“It felt really great to be recognized as a winner in this contest,” said Muterspaw. “I didn’t think I was going to win so it came as kind of a shock to me.”
The three students will receive a total of $600 for their submissions in the essay contest.
Gao and Wilson’s essays will move on to compete at the national level for a chance to win an additional cash prize as well as recognition in AIAA’s international Aerospace America magazine.

Extended hours at walk-up tax payment windows
The Town of Oyster Bay will hold extended hours at its outdoor Walk-Up Windows for those who wish to make their tax payments in-person ahead of the June 1st deadline for school property tax payments. The walk-up windows, which opened earlier this month at Town Hall North in Oyster Bay and Town Hall South in Massapequa, will operate with extended hours for the last 2 days of the property tax collection period, Friday, May 29th and Monday, June 1st. While normal hours are 10am to 2pm daily, Monday to Friday, on those days, residents can visit these sites from 9am to 4:45pm each day to pay their second half school taxes by check or money order. With the continuing impact of the COVID-19 pandemic having a negative effect on residents throughout the state, most local governments have restricted or fully suspended in-person interactions at their facilities, and these walkup windows have offered residents a safe option within which to make their payments in-person during this public health crisis.
Receiver of Taxes Jeffrey Pravato stated, “Since this public health crisis began, I am proud that my office has steadfastly remained fully operational as we as a nation have continued to combat a pandemic the likes of which we have not seen for a century. Residents looking to mitigate in-person interactions are encouraged to make payments online at www. oysterbaytown.com/departments/ receiver-of-taxes/, where Receiver Pravato arranged for taxpayers to remit payment via eCheck at a reduced fee. The fee for eCheck is now only 75 cents, reduced from a previous high of $6. Additionally, residents can alternatively pay via credit card online, where a third-party vendor charges a much larger processing fee as authorized by New York State, or mail their payments (made payable to Jeffrey P. Pravato, Receiver of Taxes) to 74 Audrey Avenue, Oyster Bay, NY 11771. The office can be reached by phone at (516) 624-6400

Four candidates vie for Syosset School Board seats
From page 4
“I went into family law because I wanted to advocate for kids. School board would be a perfect fit for all my interests. But on top of that my mom lives here in Syosset, so I always joke that with a big family I know everyone here, from ages 8 through 73!” Falcove commented.
Her experience as an attorney can help scrutinize state-level guidelines and requirements for the district. Falcove says she’s “super-approachable” and would be glad to speak about district planning with community members if she’s elected and participates in meetings and committee work.
“We need to be precise and determined to provide an easy transition to fall classes for teachers, kids, parents, administration -- everybody. I envision taking feedback from community members and parents and as a board, we should utilize such information with the decisions ahead,” she noted.
This spring Falcove spent much time helping her younger kids with online learning and class sessions, while she says the older children have done well managing challenging coursework. While delivery methods of instruction are still evolving for 2020-’21, Falcove says one key area for the board to evaluate would be the district’s social-emotional components.
“The shift to distance learning has been a big adjustment for teachers, kids and administration. Nobody had any preparation time for this immediate need, and everyone in the district has
done a great job with this thrown at them. My children love school, they love to see their teachers and friends at school. We need to be prepared for many different circumstances and potentially a hybrid of online and in-person. There is nothing that can substitute for the in-class setting -- but Syosset has done a really good job providing educational foundations for our kids, and I would like to continue building on it. It’s hard for kids with everything going on, and we want to make sure academics and learning can reach every child,” she said.
Brian Grieco
Attorney Brian Grieco is another parent of four Syosset district children, and he’s coached over 100 other youngsters in the Syosset Soccer Club. As a volunteer at Robbins Lane over the past year Grieco has run the school store during lunchtime, and he spent numerous lunch hours away from work managing the lunch orders for the entire school.
A volunteer on the Syosset Council of PTA’s, Grieco also dedicated his efforts as a volunteer chair of publicity for Robbins Lane PTA, taking pictures and mailing out news and information. In addition Grieco serves on committees for Syosset High Schools parents.
Levitan’s running mate says he’s always wanted to run for the school board, but COVID-19 has pushed his desire forward while considering the challenges ahead for most if not all school districts.
Grieco and his wife moved to Syosset 13 years ago from Bayside, and his legal practice on Long Island focuses
on assisting businesses with reorganization moves, budgeting, contractual and transactional matters and commercial litigation. While in law school, his career started with the SEC in finance and governmental compliance, auditing and examining hedge funds and mutual funds. Right after law school he went into Chapter 11 (bankruptcy) work, which he says is a great sector of practice for finance lawyers, “dealing with the inner workings of companies.”
At present Grieco says he spends his days working with businesses to manage ups-and-downs of the New York economy. Grieco says this translates into a bigger picture if he were elected to the school board.
“The reason I am running is to contribute from what I do for a living; helping small businesses restructuring during crises. It felt like the obvious move to take my experience and move it over to school board -- it’s important for parents to be involved, looking into ways of allocating funds efficiently and saving money. For most of my legal career I have represented companies, and often their boards, in dealing with finance, economic and budget issues. I’m taking many phone calls daily as companies manage the global economic crisis -- I am helping them manage the capital structure of their business to pull through this. I want to use this experience now as our school system may have significant budget and finance concerns ahead due to the New York State budget. The governor has already spoken in broad terms about schools’ outlook and State Aid, and the district itself has had discussions with
the budget vote coming up” Greico said. Brian’s kids are an 11-year-old at H.B. Thompson Middle School, a 9-yearold and 8-year old at Robbins Lane and a 5-year old ready to start kindergarten. Part of the reason Grieco decided to run now, he says, is many neighbors and fellow parents who’ve asked him to “be the voice of the businessperson” on the board.
“We have wonderful board members now and I’m close with several of them, but this is a chance to take advantage of the work I do in my day job but in a volunteer capacity. Whether it’s about budgeting or governmental operations I would know the answer without thinking -- it’s my background,” he said.
Grieco says technology is one area where funding should be set up and investments should be prioritized accordingly.
“We can consider more money allocated for this and with distance learning it could be a must-have, but to start there is not going to be more money for anything during this pandemic. There is a general idea that the district could be overpaying for certain contracts and there needs to be board scrutiny over contracts. If elected, I would just want to take a look and consider if there’s ways of saving. The most glaring expense is the bussing contract. Then considering the annual food costs for Aramark, as a lawyer and a finance person I wish I could have helped Syosset negotiations on that contract -- we are a very large district and we should gain from being a larger district. Syosset has the ability to save money if we are proactive in looking into doing so,” Grieco said.
