UPDATE: Four Local Districts Closed Monday

Four local districts announce closings for Monday.

Four local school districts, Miller Place, Mount Sinai, Rocky POint and Shoreham-Wading River, have announced early Sunday that they will be closed on Monday.

Due to the heavy snowfall most Miller Place and Sound Beach roads are still impassable," Miller Place Superintendent Marianne Higuera wrote on the district website. "The District is extremely concerned about student transportation and safety at bus stops."

Rocky Point now has a letter from Superintendent Michael Ring on the district website as well.

"It goes without saying that the weather continues to present significant challenges to us this school year," the letter reads. "As a result of the lingering impact on local roads due to the blizzard, safe transit to our schools is not possible."

The letter, attached, also includes an update to the calendar.

Spoken like a true teacher. Did you know that the average school teacher is only paying 15% of theRead More actual cost of health care premiums for themselves and their families, when Medical healthcare insurance premiums are rising at an alarming 17% per annum? Do you realize that teachers are paid an additional stipend if they work more than 3 consecutive periods in a day? Are you aware that teacher pensions were protected during the stock market crash of 2008, when the average person's 401K was totally at risk? Perhaps if teachers realized how good they have it - look at the BIG picture and outside of their bubble - then they would complain less. Oh and yes, we need our loftily-paid Administrators to kick in some of the salaries, to help pay for stuff. Hard to believe the school districts' mantras that "it's all for the kids".

sorry hit enter and it popped my statement in above too soon... I'm likely right that all townsRead More along sound need to have remediation plans on board, but that doesn't mean they have the funds to get it done. I would not be surprised if the meatballs running crookhaven missed the mother-load of that Superfund.

Jennifer, if Bonner speaks about the town trying to buy the property next to east of Scotts beachRead More (or scots - spelling?) forget about it. that property is meaningless to issues east of that point. Oh by the way this is not confirmed yet but I hear our new Highway guy is/was the lawyer for the guy who owns that track of land. crookhaven makes strange bedfellows hey?

That made me smile! My mom passed away when I was a child and not a day has gone by in the past 37Read More years that I don't think about her and wonder who this woman was who gave her children the gift of life but never had the opportunity to see her children grow up. The little that I remember of her warms my heart. I wish all mothers, stepmothers, grandmothers and Godmothers a blessed Mother's Day! :)
