Hello. This is Dan Rehman, Superintendent of Schools. Earlier today, a scripted ConnectEd message that uses the "robocall voice" mistakenly said revolt instead of re-vote. Obviously, there will be a re-vote and no revolt. Thank you.
Tomorrow is the district’s budget revote! Please remember to vote between 7 a.m.-9 p.m. at West Hempstead Middle School. As a reminder, the revised budget has been REDUCED from the initial plan presented to voters in May. All information related to the proposal can be found on the district’s website.

¡Mañana es la revotación del presupuesto del distrito! Recuerde votar entre las 7:00 a.m. y las 9:00 p.m. en la Escuela Intermedia de West Hempstead.

Juneteenth is a federal holiday in the US commemorating the emancipation of enslaved African Americans.Juneteenth marks the anniversary of the announcement of Gen. Order No. 3 by Union Army general Gordon Granger on June 19, 1865, proclaiming freedom for enslaved people in Texas.
Intentional misinformation is again being circulated in the community about the District’s budgeting and finances. The District presented the facts in its most recent budget presentations to counter this misinformation, yet the anonymous authors of the most recent flyer being circulated have once again chosen to ignore the facts in an effort to mislead the community. We encourage all residents to review the videos from those budget presentations, the budget materials on the District’s website, and the information presented in the budget revote edition of The Educator, or to reach out to the District before they head to the polls on June 21st.
Happy Father's Day!

The proposed budget supports the district’s continuing initiatives, such as the new math, science and social-emotional learning programs, as well as project-based learning and career exploration opportunities, among others.
A portion of the proposed budget also supports students who do not attend West Hempstead Public Schools. Over $6 million (around 9%) of the proposed budget would cover costs for students who do not attend schools within the district. Those costs include transportation, special education and health services, textbooks and staffing.
