The primary function of the Legislative Committee, which is composed of community members, Sachem staff, students, Board and Legislative members, will seek to enhance funding to the district by lobbying Local, State and Federal entities.

We will be due diligent in the review of proposed new legislation as well as monitor existing legislation, to determine its impact on our school district.

We will seek to mitigate unfunded mandates, improve communications and promulgate influential status with our legislators.
