New Role…….Same Passion

October 28, 2019 By Michelle Yannaco

New Role…….Same Passion

Monday, December 4th, 2018 was a bittersweet night. I took part in my last Community Education Council 31 meeting as a council member. I have had the privilege and honor of serving as an elected volunteer parent member since 2009.

During the last decade, we have seen many changes which included, two Mayors, five NYC School Chancellors and five District 31 Superintendents. Regardless of the personnel changes, we have always fostered partnerships that helped us advocate for our Staten Island students and school communities.

I am forever grateful for the lasting friendships I have made along this journey. That last meeting was a little emotional, even making me shed some tears. Emotional because you all have had an impact on me and the advocacy and passion I and my fellow Community Education Council 31 members put forth on behalf of Staten Island.

Thanks to your support, I am transitioning to a new role in the New York State Assembly, bringing that same passion and advocacy to Albany. I want to first thank my friend and predecessor, State Assemblyman Ron Castorina for his service and dedication to our community.

As I begin this next chapter, I look forward to partnering with my colleagues at the federal, state and city level, to advocate for our Staten island community. Below I have listed my office contact information, along with our Staten Island federal, state and city representatives.
