    Board President John Verdone and Board Vice President Thomas Cooley surprised Maribeth Demetres with a BOE citation for her tireless dedication and great service to the Sayville Community as the District Clerk throughout the school year.


    John Verdone was acknowledged for receiving the "Outstanding School Board Service Award" from the Nassau Suffolk School Boards Association. Mr. Verdone has also been nominated to serve as Vice President of the Nassau Suffolk School Boards Association this coming school year.


    Eileen Walsh-Ahrens and Dina Proteus were acknowledged for their extraordinary efforts to restore some of the funding to local school districts that had been eliminated by the GEA. The GEA has greatly reduced NYS aid to schools by 1 billion dollars on Long Island over the past several years.
