• Superintendent's Letter re: Regionalization Concerns

  Dear Island Park Families,
  
  We hope this message finds you well. As a district, we are committed to ensuring that the policies shaping our schools are in the best interest of our students, staff, and community. Recently, the Board of Education has reviewed the proposed language in the New York State Education Department's (NYSED) Regionalization Initiative, and we have concerns regarding its potential impact on our district.
  
  Attached to this email is our letter to NYSED outlining our concerns and perspective. This letter emphasizes the importance of maintaining local decision-making and control. We are asking you, as valued members of our school community, to read this letter and consider joining us in advocating for the necessary revisions to the regulations’ language.
  
  Your voice matters. If you share our concerns, we encourage you to reach out to NYSED officials at regionalization@nysed.gov or our state representatives to ensure our collective message is heard. Together, we can advocate for policies that truly support the best interests of our students and the Island Park community.
  
  Thank you for your attention to this important matter and for your continued support of our schools.
  
  Warm regards,
  
  Vincent Randazzo

• Playground Closing Time Adjusted Due to Daylight Savings

  Dear Island Park Community,
  
  We would like to remind everyone that our playgrounds are open daily until dusk. With the recent end of Daylight Saving Time, dusk now arrives earlier, which means our playgrounds will close earlier than in previous weeks. We kindly ask everyone to plan their visits accordingly.
  
  Thank you for helping us keep our playgrounds safe and enjoyable for all.

  Restore Foundation Aid to Our Schools

  Click here to view the Superintendent's Letter

  What’s happening?

  At a time when expenditures continue to rise beyond the district's control, federal COVID funds are set to expire, and the school district continues to deal with the aftermath of the LIPA/Nassau County Tax Certiorari Settlement with respect to the E.F. Barrett Power Plant, the $118,000 reduction in state aid proposed by Governor Hochul could have long-lasting results for our schools.

  What can you do?

  Contact Governor Hochul and our elected officials and help advocate for the full restoration of state aid for the Island Park UFSD.
