Issue spotting is easy. Helping drive solutions, rarer. That’s where we come in …
Dr. Dinorah DellaCamera
I am a dedicated mother, veterinarian, and long-time advocate for education reform with a deep commitment to improving literacy instruction and special education services. My advocacy journey began as a parent fighting for children with dyslexia and dysgraphia, leading to my influencing state-level policies and serving on the New York State Education Department’s Dyslexia and Dysgraphia Task Force. I’ve worked extensively with organizations such as Teach My Kid to Read, Decoding Dyslexia New York, and the Long Island Literacy Coalition, helping families navigate the education system and push for evidence-based reading instruction. Running for the Garden City Board of Education, I aim to implement structured literacy programs, enhance special education to ensure early and effective interventions, and seek greater accountability in district leadership and spending. With a results-driven approach and a passion for student success, I am committed to ensuring every child in Garden City has access to a high-quality education second to none.

I’m running because we have an incredible community and school system that has unfortunately fallen behind in certain areas and can use some improvement in others. I have a unique perspective and skillset to help the Board of Education strengthen our special education, boost our literacy program, allocate resources and monies appropriately, and hold top leadership accountable. My experience as an education attorney representing families across New York State gives me unique insights into how school districts succeed—and where they stray from mission. I’ve seen firsthand how delays in services, poor policy decisions, and wasteful spending create unnecessary conflicts that hurt students and drain taxpayer resources. As a board member, I will use this knowledge to help Garden City take a proactive, student-focused approach—concentrating on early interventions, effective policies, and responsible budgeting to improve outcomes while avoiding costly mistakes. Ultimately, my vision for Garden City is to be NUMBER ONE.
