History
In 1888, a notable wooden public school building was constructed on Greene Avenue, which was used by the school system until about 1958. Adelphi University also used the building for a period of time in the early 1960s.[4] In 1964, the building was renovated for school administration use.[5] "Old 88" burned down in a fire in December 1969, and a marker was placed in its memory in 2000.[5][6]
In 1998, the district was the first on Long Island to approve breathalyzer testing of students.[7][8]
All of the district's schools were temporarily closed on March 16, 2020, and the following months, due to the outbreak of COVID-19.[9]
