Fulgenzi Calls on Feds to Prevent Placing Migrant Children at JCCA Campus
August 18, 2023---Martin Wilbur

The JCCA has five job postings listed on its website related to a program for unaccompanied migrant children at its Pleasantville campus that would be overseen by the federal Office of Refugee Resettlement.

Mount Pleasant Supervisor Carl Fulgenzi has urged the federal government against placing unaccompanied migrant children at Pleasantville’s JCCA Cottage School after he learned this week of job postings for positions to operate a program for that population.

Fulgenzi said the town has had no communication regarding a program with the federal government’s Department of Health & Human Services’ Office of Refugee Resettlement, which would apparently oversee the program at the JCCA.

He was alerted to the posting for an assistant program director at the Pleasantville campus on the job posting website Indeed by a local resident. According to the listing, the person hired would “provide daily oversight to the operations of the Unaccompanied Children (UC) program. They will serve as a secondary liaison for Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR), and other external parties in reference to the UAC Program.”  MORE AT Fulgenzi Calls on Feds to Prevent Placing Migrant Children at JCCA Campus | The Examiner News
