FROM THE NEW "CROTON NEWS" SITE----AS ALWAYS, DO YOUR OWN DUE DILIGENCE.....



In May 2024, community members encountered a Palestine booth as one of the cultures represented at Croton-Harmon school Cultural Night. For some families in the district, the materials at the booth were a breaking point — not an isolated incident, but a culmination of years of concern about antisemitism in the schools.

What followed was a year-long effort to get the school district to formally address antisemitism. That effort became entangled with two separate but related controversies: a bitter debate over how antisemitism should be defined, and a national reckoning over whether schools can maintain diversity and equity policies under a hostile federal administration.

The Destruction of Riverside Avenue

In September 1960 demolition began on Croton’s waterfront business district to construct Route 9. Riverside Avenue, from the intersection with Maple up to Farrington Road, was rerouted and most of the old buildings demolished. By the time the project was completed, parts of residential streets from Benedict Boulevard in Harmon up to Wolf Road were also eliminated, along with the beautiful Beaux Arts-style bridge across the mouth of the Croton River. Village Historian Marc Cheshire will recount the upheaval and loss from this seminal event in Croton’s history.

CONGRESSMAN MIKE LAWLER, HOW DOES THE WORKING FAMILIES TAX CUSTS HELP WORKING FAMILIES RAISING KIDS?

How does the Working Families Tax Cuts Act help working families raising kids?

This law increases the amount families can claim through the Child Tax Credit program to $2,200 per qualifying child. This will directly reduce families' tax liability and help offset the costs of raising children for low- and middle-income parents.
