This petition is an attempt to modify an existing school policy, which would allow a current student to continue their education at the Tuckahoe Schools through 12th grade in the event of the death of their parent, a current teacher/employee.

Lucille Anzalone grew up in the Village of Tuckahoe, attended the Tuckahoe Schools K-12, graduating in 1987. She had been employed by the district as a Speech and Language teacher from 2006 until her death in October of 2016. Her daughter is a current student, and this petition will aid in the modification of an existing policy, in order to allow her to continue 9th-12th grade tuition free. This is at no additional cost to the taxpayers, however, in order for the child to remain in district a formal vote, open public discussion and amendment must be in place.

Your signature will assist in communicating to the Board of Education and Administration the spirit of what this community represents.
