In the Community

Mr. Agro was on hand to answer parent questions about Education Law at a recent talk by Dr. Steve Nenninger. The event took place on January 30, 2010 at the Port Jefferson Village Center. Dr. Nenninger lectured to an enthusiastic, standing room only, audience on numerous issues relating to nutrition and the immune system. Part of his talk focused on vaccinations which spurred interest in the school vaccinations exemption law. Dr. Nenninger announced that Mr. Agro was available to answer questions about the exemption for school vaccinations. After Dr. Nenninger finished his talk, Mr. Agro spoke with many of the parents to explain the law regarding vaccinations and exemptions and to answer their questions.

In the Media

Mr. Agro was quoted in an award winning Long Island Press newspaper article concerning the problem of schools reporting parents to Child Protective Services, entitled "Reading, 'Riting and Revenge", by April Jimenez.
