She has worked tirelessly on behalf of parents and our school children serving as Central Compact Chair for the Newburgh Enlarged Central School District (NECSD). Her 20-plus years of finance management experience has given her the tools necessary to understand complex issues and has aided her well in her advisory roles on various NECSD committees and in helping to develop a sound strategic plan to guide our schools for years to come.

I have worked closely with Santiago in my son’s Boy Scout Troop #4028 and know her to be diligent, caring, resourceful and understanding.
