State Employees Rally to Save Pyramid Reception Center
Members of the New York State Public Employees Federation (PEF)?joined members of the Civil Service Employees Association (CSEA)?at a rally to save the Pyramid Reception Center in the Bronx. The center is the state’s only intake center for the state Office of Children and Family Services (OCFS).
PEF and CSEA members who work at the center were joined by supporters including parents of children who have successfully completed programs at the center.
“The Pyramid Reception Center is vital to the metropolitan area,” said PEF Vice President Pat Baker. “It’s central location, structured layout and experienced staff make it the logical site for the optimal provision of assessment, orientation and transportation services for youths entering OCFS facilities.”
OCFS announced in January plans to close Pyramid, which is the main reception and assessment center for all adjudicated juvenile delinquents entering OCFS care.
