BOARD OF EDUCATION District 22, comprising Farmingdale and parts of North Massapequa and Massapequa Park, has its school policy form- ulated by the Board of Education. The Board is composed of seven men and women who are citizens of the district. They are elected to this important posi- tion by the district’s taxpayers. They attempt to formulate a school policy that will benefit the parents, teachers, and stu- dents of the district. Some of the problems confronting the Board during the year are the school curriculum, hours, trans- portation, and other vital phases of school administration. This past year the Board has concentrated its efforts on obtaining more state aid for the district. The Board is asking the state to be an equal partner in the support of the schools, thus alleviating the taxpayers of the full expense. In September, 1961, the new Farmingdale High Sqhool will open its doors to students in grades nine through twelve. The Mill Lane School and the present Weldon E. Howitt High School will sene as junior high schools and house grades six through eight. Grades kindergarten through five will attend the six elementary schools. This plan, which was recommended by Dr. Guilford and approved bv the Board, puts all the district's schools on full time. Mr. Bernard Lang 8
