Future of Our Schools
“The leadership of the Central Islip School District is failing our children and their future. Our children deserve nothing less than a quality education. With nearly $40,000 spent per student each year, our students should be outperforming their peers. Instead, our district ranks alongside the worst public schools in New York City. For too long, the district has prioritized the interests of administrators, educators, and their personal agendas over those of our students.”
