Making schools safer for our kids
As the husband, father and brother of teachers, Bill Magnarelli has always worked
hard to ensure the safety of our children and our schools. In the last two years he:
-
provided $50,000 in matching funds to purchase and install video surveillance
equipment in all of Solvay’s school buildings
-
secured $50,000 in Community Capital Assistance Program funds for the
construction of a safe, new playground for Solvay Elementary School
children
-
sponsored landmark safe-schools legislation called Project SAVE, which institutes
better school safety and violence-prevention initiatives and increases penalties for
assaults committed on school grounds
More than ever, children need a quality education that will provide them with the right start
to meet the challenges of our changing global economy. This year New York made its
largest education investment ever.
-
Solvay Union Free School District received a 15.5% increase over last year
-
Westhill Central School District received an 11.6% increase
-
West Genesee Central School District received a 6.8% increase
Helping our firefighters protect our loved ones
So that they can better protect our families, Assemblyman Magnarelli provided the
Lakeside and Solvay fire departments with more than $60,000 for new fire-safety and
rescue gear.
Bringing Geddes more state aid
Assemblyman Magnarelli also secured funding for local projects in Geddes, including:
-
$50,000 for the historic Solvay Public Library — these funds will be used to restore
the building and install a career-planning and job-search center
-
$20,000 for the 2008 International Tyrol Convention, which will not only bring visitors
to the convention but will also give them the opportunity to enjoy all the restaurants
and shops Central New York offers

Magnarelli for three projects:
