TUNE IN TONIGHT: WLIW21's "Long Island Business Report" Concludes Its Series of Reports on the Pension Debate
Long Islanders want the best and brightest educators for their children, but it is a challenge to recruit and retain teachers without the guarantee of a secure retirement. As a part of a broader exploration into the issue of pension reform, Long Island Business Report examines the impact of pension funding on Long Island's education system.
Emmy award-winning journalist (and Rockville Centre resident) Jim Paymar speaks to Henry L. Grishman, superintendent of the Jericho School District and Tim Southerton, board member of the New York State Retirement System to discuss the critical importance of finding solutions to the pension debate in order to maintain the high quality of Long Island's schools.
