South Country Central School District Director of Humanities Jackie O’Hagan and Bellport High School social studies teacher Andrew Budris recently spoke to radio show host Bob Vecchio on his program “Spotlight on LI Schools” about the district’s New York State Education Department Seal of Civic Readiness program.

O’Hagan and Budris explained that South Country is one of only a handful of school districts on Long Island to offer the all-encompassing program, which teaches students how to apply civic knowledge, skills and mindsets to make positive impacts in their school, community and the world. It also aims to strengthen relationships with community partners and civic leaders.
