Schumer: NY to receive $1.8B for childcare By: Adina Genn April 8, 2021 Comments Off on Schumer: NY to receive $1.8B for childcare
More than $1.8 billion in federal funds is coming to New York to help childcare providers and parents meet workforce needs amid the pandemic.
At the Amityville-based Marks of Excellence Child Care on Wednesday, U.S. Sen. Charles Schumer said that the funds from the American Rescue Plan are coming to Long Island and would provide critical relief for families as the economy and workplaces reopen.
“Since the start of this pandemic, day care and child care center advocates on Long Island have been sounding the alarm that these places are critical to our reopening and need help to survive,” Schumer said in a statement.
The problem is, theyâve had virtually nothing to do with the selection process up until now.
City Manager Kent Cagle has conditionally appointed Public Works Director Danielle Singh to be the cityâs assistant city manager â a position that has been vacant since the resignation of David Ellison last fall.
In addition, the council will be asked to approve the appointment of Jeffrey Reynolds to succeed Singh in the top spot over Public Works. He currently serves as the departmentâs assistant director.
Certainly, promoting from within can be a solid strategy, as it rewards service to the city, acknowledges institutional knowledge and builds on current interdepartmental relationships.
