Abinanti was most helpful and supportive when We The People stopped the cell towers in 2011. Now our…Read More next project is actually doing something to prevent further closures of the Saw Mill River Pkwy whenever we get a sun shower.

See it doesn't matter how much money you throw at a school by way of taxes, It doesn't matter how…Read More good the teachers are. If parents don't act like parents and try to be their childs friend instead...these are the results you get.....So you pay all these taxes because " John Jay " is one of the best schools in the area...we pay over $34,000 per student to educate them as opposed to $26,000 in other local districts...yet here we are with these types of numbers for alcohol and drug use.....what does that say about our district?

It says we need more effective (which should not mean more labor intensive and thus more expensive)…Read More substance abuse programming and a way to get parents involved in that programming. Until parents are taught how to address their kids' substance abuse issues, until the parents in this District are taught that is not ok for a teenager to drink or smoke pot, we are going to continue seeing these unfortunate results.

I think we should put our (always increasing) budget into some sort of recreation center for teens…Read More and young adults so that they have something to do (within the district) besides smoking pot. Lets face it: if you go to JJHS and you're not in some club or on a sports team, there isn't much to do after school. Kids want to have fun and adventure, drug use provides that. Kids do not need more drug education: they know more and more about what they're using than ever before. You need to give them an alternative. This town has a nasty reputation for over indulgence in Pot dating back to the '70s. Let's try to change that!
