Welcome to the Bedford Central School District's Legislative Action and Advocacy Page.  This information is designed to connect Bedford Central parents, community members, and staff with our elected officials.  From our local representatives to our President, they want to hear the voices of their constituents, especially on issues related to public education.  The District's newly formed Legislative Action Committee will also share information on this page. 

Please feel free to share this information with anyone who may be interested, as an educated community is an empowered community.  Our collective advocacy will work to ensure a strong voice in the legislative decisions that impact the Bedford Central School District and our students.
