School Board Votes Against Superintendent's Recommendation
Laria's choice for his next assistant in charge of curriculum was based on expert opinions, he said. Who do you favor?

The hiring of Stephanie Clagnaz, an administrator in the Hempstead school district, was denied after stiff opposition from residents who showed up for the meeting by the dozen.
Attendees voiced outrage, saying a popular pick from within the district, Landing Elementary School principal Michael Israel, was not being given a fair shot at the position.
