Looking for the Dad from the 6/19 Want El PTA mtg

[Wantagh Parent]

It looks like taxed2death is looking to get in touch with the father who recently spoke to Fuschillo on this thread:

wantaghsd.proboards66.com/index.cgi?board=general&action=display&thread=67

If anyone knows who he is, can you please direct him to this message board so they can get in contact with each other?

Thanks.

I know him and will relay the message.

I was the dad spoke out at the Wantagh Elem PTA meeting, why?

dadfromwantagh: I have tried unsuccessfully to get "copy points" from the school district so that we can write intelligent letters and make phone calls with "sound bytes". I'd like to make comparisons with other districts to help state our case. You seemed very educated from your phone calls with Fuscillo and many people in the room wanted more information. We have the contacts listed on this board but we need as a community to build our case. Can you please put together bullets based on your research and discussions? This would be helpful for all that want to start the letter writing/phone calls but don't feel like we are armed with the facts. Thank you!

Does anybody have a copy of the letter Mr. Wizotsky drafted last year? It was distributed somewhat through the PTA's.

If we use that old letter as a start, maybe with dadfromwantagh's input/update regarding Fuschillo's latest concerns about Wantagh, then maybe we can put together a good talk sheet for a formal letter writing campaign from here.

It seems like waiting for the district is taking too long.

dadfromwantagh, did Fuschillo say he got a lot of calls & letters from Wantagh residents in general (before the vote and revote)?

Lilly talking points,
PILOTS (payments in lieu of taxes) from the state and Nassau County- NYS at Jones Beach with the threater, the concessions and the Trump catering hall the state is allowing for profit organizations benefit from the use of state land. I say leave Mr. Trump alone, I can't fault for taking the deal Benedette Castro and Gov. Pataki gave (he still has pay to build it) but once it is running the STATE should give some kind of consideration to the schools and same should true for the restaurant group running the Friendly's and Nikons naming contract at the threater. Nassau county is making a PILOT payment to the East Meadow SD, cause of a similar deal the county gave to Carltun on Park.

Got it and you're other private message.
