Letter from March 6, 2025
Dear West Hempstead Parents,
As I have stated previously, there is no greater priority for our district than the health, safety and welfare of our students. To that point, I am writing to inform you that the district has taken all appropriate steps as part of an investigation into a former employee of the district. We are aware of alleged incidents that have occurred and remain committed to ensuring that they are taken extremely seriously and are fully investigated.
While we are unable to provide details, I can assure you that when we learned of these allegations involving this former employee last week, we immediately contacted local law enforcement and filed the appropriate reports with the New York State Education Department.
While the individual in question is no longer employed by our district, per New York State law, we are unable to provide further comment, as this is a personnel matter. As a parent myself, I understand this will be frustrating for our school community. Please know that we are fully committed to transparency within the bounds of the law and to maintaining a safe and supportive learning environment for all students.
Sincerely,
Daniel Rehman
Superintendent of Schools
West Hempstead School District
