"They will be missed," he said. "They've had many, many years of service here...they've served out children well, they've served out community well, and we wish them long, healthy, happy retirements."
The Board also approved an agreement between the school district, the Village of Massapequa Park, and Nassau County for the purpose of establishing and operating a Point of Despensing facility at Berner Middle School.
"Berner will be used as a Point of Distrubution in the event of some natural diaster that we face where medicines have to be distrubuted on a wide-scale basis," said Assistant Superintendent Alan Adcock. "We have had an agreement like this with Massapequa Park and Nassau County previously."
