Schumer, Gillibrand Announce More Than $2.3 Million In Federal Head Start Funds For Oswego County Opportunities, Inc.

Press Release

U.S. Senators Charles E. Schumer and Kirsten Gillibrand today announced $2,302,042 in federal funding for the Oswego County Opportunities, Inc., a community based organization in Fulton County. Schumer and Gillibrand said this funding will continue to support the organization's efforts to improve education for low-income children at their earliest age, when major learning strides take place.

"Children are most impacted by their earliest lessons and carry those teachings through their academic career," said Senator Schumer. "This Head Start funding will bring real results to our young students in Oswego County by providing them with the tools and resources they need to succeed in and out of the classroom. I am proud to support this essential funding and will continue to fight to see that early child education remains a priority."

"Head start programs are an invaluable resource to support children at their most critical learning stages," said Senator Gillibrand. "This funding is an investment in the future of our children and the Oswego County Opportunities program will help deliver education programs for Syracuse children and reduce the cost of quality childcare for those who need it most."
