Dr. Eversley said scores had to show anincrease of "al least 20 percent" for a schoolto qualify.
The three schools and the categories theyqualified in are Gihlyn School, 4lh gradeEnglish Language Arts; Bayview Avenue,4th grade ELA; and Archer Street School,4th grade malli.
The superintendent also revealed that theslate Department of Education notified thedistrict that it plans to recognize NewVisions School as one of three elementaryschools in Nassau and Suffolk counties for"significant gains" on the 4th grade ELAexam.
Commenting on the schools' dramaticprogress over the past year, Dr. Eversleypraised the faculty and stalls of the elemen-tary schools, while noting "there is slillmore work lo do."
Reid trips canceledThe nation's recent heightened alert sta-
tus to condition orange touched the districtin a real way when Dr. Eversley staled thaiall field trips into New York have been"temporarily suspended" but that schoolofficials are "staying on top of this" inhopes of their resumption in the near future."We don't want to reslrict opportunities," hesaid, adding that he hoped to take a case bycase approach to the program.

. Still no contractDozens of teachers were in atlendance as
Freeport Teachers Association PresidentLillian Gutman urged Ihe board lo acl onthe renewal of teachers contracts, whichexpired on June 30.
"We still have expired conlracts and no1
efforts have been made to resolve the prob-lems standing in the way of a setllemenl,"she said.
She and others who spoke at the meetingquestioned the board's intention to raiseadministrators salaries while action has yetto be taken on teachers' pay raise demands.Truslees acted on the administrators salarieslater in the meeting. (See related story)
Trustee Joseph Cattano took issue withMs. Gulman's claims about the board nottrying to resolve the contract issue. He saidit was "not accurate that we are stoppingthis process."
Dr. Callano continued, "It takes time forthe parties to find a place of agreement." Headded the board "represents the whole com-munity" and there is input from many dif-ferent parties the board has to consider inworking out an agreement.
Board President Sunday F. Coward saidil was "inappropriate for board members totalk about specifics" relating lo the contraclor what is impeding progress because il is"slill under negotiation."
High school teacher Slu Napier praisedthe new lateness policy al Ihe high school,citing a "dramatic drop in the number ofsludenls in the hallways or coming lo classlale and praised Principal Dr. MichaelCourtney for initialing the new policy.
He said the teachers are "thrilled with thenew policy" after experiencing low moraleproblems over the past four years.

School board approves pay hikesby Jim Golding
It took two tries, but the FreeportSchool Board approved salary increasesfor several administrators at theFebruary 12 monthly action meeting.
Trustees passed a resolution approv-ing wages and fringe benefits currentlyprovided to five Central Office adminis-trators: Assistant Superintendent forPersonnel Dr. Mary R. Bediako;Assistant Superintendent for BusinessKishore Kuncham; Manager ofComputer Operations Carol Peters;Director of School Facilities SpiroColaitis; and School Lunch ManagerJeannie Romeo.
The board also directed the superin-tendent of schools to draw up individualcontracts with the administrators toreflect the wages and fringe benefitscurrently provided.
Until now, there was no written agree-ment that officially set the wage figures.
A second resolution approved payraises for the above administrators, andtwo others - Sophia Codispoda, trans-portation coordinator, and ThomasVolpe - for the 2002-03 academic year.
Before trustees discussed the issue,however, resident Steward Lilker statedhis objections to the board's proposedaction.
Mr. Lilker said the administrators,salaries were "part of the budget votersapproved last year." He also said he wasunable to obtain copies of past contractsand noted that the amounts of salaries inthe 2000-01 school year, compared withthose proposed by the board representedincreases as high as 35.7 percent.
"If that's what these guys get, thenthat's what teachers in this school dis-
triet-should get," he said, referring to theyet-to-be-settled contract with theFreeport Teachers Association.
"I suggest you don't approve the rais-es," he continued. "The people voted ontheir salaries last Ap*tl." Mr. Lilker alsosaid he would "appeal to the [New York.state] .commissioner of Education" ifthey took action on the resolutions andcharged they were "subverting the willof the people." He added, "I suggest youtable it."
He also said he was circulating a peti-tion to place a proposition on the ballotfor the May 20 election to increase num-ber of board members from current fiveto nine trustees.
Responding to Mr. Lilker's assertions,Board President Sunday Coward saidthat, before last year, "There were nocontracts" and that schools superintend-ent Dr. Eric Eversley said the adminis-trators should have contracts.
"I'm a believer in the open meetingslaw and in doing things in the sunshine,"she continued. The "contracts" and rais-es approved under the previous board"were voted on in a session not abidingwith the open meetings law" and there
. was no record of it."I sat in that room and told them it
was wrong but was told I only had onevote," she said. "We have to put thingsin writing."
Dr. Eversley added, "We'd like to setthe record straight and build from there."
When the salary resolution came tothe floor for action, trustee MichaelRaab made a motion for the board toadjourn to executive session "on theissue of personnel, regarding compensa-tion."

Ms. Coward warily replied. "I haveconcerns about the legality of doing this.It doesn't seem right. I ask you to recon-sider this. I believe it is illegal to dothis." .
Mr. Raab said, "compensation is cer-tainly an item of personnel."

A worldthat wants peace
For those who believe "the best defense is a good offense" theworldwide demonstrations for peace last weekend were not goodnews.
Obviously, some rethinking of the U.S. forces' timetable for aninvasion of Iraq is going on. Even if much of Europe is wrong, andthe threat posed by Iraq must be met now, a delay seems likely.
And yet, isn't it hopeful and just plain wonderful that a wholeworld of people has spoken out in favor of peace? Indeed, you couldalmost call it a miracle.
If only we could move one step further and do as BishopDesmond Tutu proposed, spend half the billions going to militaryaction on improving the economic situations of the world's poorernations.
Terrorist movements breed in poverty because their membershave nothing to lose, and no other hope for winning. New York Citywas struck and badly wounded by terrorists. And yet hundreds ofthousands took to the streets Saturday to make a statement for peace.
"Not in their name" is the slogan many victims' families havetaken in opposition to violence. Unfortunately, we cannot throwdown all our arms and expect peace. On the other hand, we can pushfor more dollars invested in building a more prosperous world.
Locally, prayer services were held. Worshippers were asked tolight a candle for peace and bring it home.

HISTORY...No community wants to bemired in the past. On the other hand, it isdifficult for a community to progress ifit doesn't have an understanding of itsown history.
One of the reasons for the recent suc-cesses enjoyed by so many of Baldwin'sorganizations is because they havelearned from their history and built uponit-
In the past both the Baldwin FireDepartment and the Baldwin PublicLibrary had bond issue defeats - the firedepartment several years ago, the libraryover a decade ago. Because of thosedefeats, both groups made changes inthe way they reached out to the commu-nity, seeking to avoid the pitfalls thathad caused problems before. Theirknowledge and understanding of theirown organization's history played a sig-nificant role, in their present success andin the passage of their recent bonds.
Both groups, however, do somethingmore. In addition to avoiding past mis-takes, library personnel cherish theirlong-standing community relationships.Director Barbara Hopkins most appro-priately is a member of the Woman'sAdvance Club, the library's foundinggroup. Almost a century after its incep-tion, that group is still closely affiliatedwith the library, providing constant sup-port for its projects and mission. This isa continuing relationship which librarytrustees never take for granted andalways respect.
The fire department, too, consistentlyremembers older colleagues, some ofwhom served for decades. In ceremoniesthat are poignant and heartfelt, they paytribute to those who helped the depart-ment reach its present level of excel-lence.
At the Historical Society, today's offi-cers have a real commitment to acquir-ing and preserving the documents andmemorabilia that depict the communi-
ty's history. They also exhibit an almostreverential attitude toward the society'sfounders, particularly James McKeon.
As they preserve the community'sartifacts, they try hard to make Baldwinhistory meaningful for today's residents.They were delighted when the dedica-tion of the new Town of Hempsteadparking lot on Brooklyn Avenue includ-•ed an historical marker to let peopleknow that the location was the originalsite of the budding GrummanCorporation in 1929. Knowledge ofthese details of history, they believe; fos-ters community pride and helps resi-dents share a heritage.
In the Chamber of Commerce, themomentum that is evident today isfounded in the actions of past officersand longtime members. Incoming presi-dent Doris Duffy'stressed her desire tobuild on the past as she pledged to moveforward with positive initiatives. Shebrings to her position a real appreciationof past efforts and past leadership.
To ensure further progress, today'scommunity leaders must have a knowl-edge and understanding of Baldwin'shistory and how it impacts on the pres-ent. Certainly they must also listen to theopinions and aspirations of today's resi-dents. But there is something more.
All of us must remember the peoplewho were responsible for makingBaldwin the community it is. One of thesaddest moments in the life of a commu-nity is when a person, who has sellless-ly devoted so much lime and efforttoward the betterment of the town, isignored. Sadder s t i l l is when that persondies and their passing is barely noted.
For practical reasons alone, weshould learn from the past. For a senseof real community, however, we shoulddo more. We should embrace where wecame from and we must especiallyremember and pay tribute to all thosewho gave their best so that we can nowenjoy the fruits of their labors.
letters to the editorremembering Millman
To The Leader:The Baldwin School District has
always striven for excellence in educa-tion.There was no better man who epito-
mized that goal than Meyer Millman.As Principal of the Baldwin Junior High
•from 1962-1982, Meyer encouraged alove of learning among his students anda love of teaching within his faculty. Asa career principal and educator, hedeeply cared about his school and eachand every person who 'passed through-its doors. He was a man of wisdom andvision, -integrity and sensitivity. Hementored his teachers and they, alongwith fellow administrators and commu-
.nity neighbors, became his Baldwin"family."
As a tribute to Meyer and at therequest of his widow, those who knewhim and loved him honored his memory
witrfa decorative bench placed in frontof .Baldwin Senior High School. This$2500 memorial was purchased exclu-sively with monies donated by themembers of Meyer's Baldwin "family."A simple plaque memorialized hisname.
Sadly, no accommodations for pre-ventative care were ever-put into placeto make sure this memorial to one ofBaldwin's most beloved adminstratorswas properly cared for. Graffiti andcarvings marred its beautiful teak and.finally, over the course of the past fouryears; the fjench was abused anddestroyed by students without anyapparent consequence. Instead ofrepairing it, the bench was ripped outand deemed "unfixable," its plaquemangled and placed in pieces behindthe custodial office. Luckily, one ofMeyer's "family," a retired technologyteasher, discovered the bench bagged
and-ready to be discarded. A true laborof love, he painstakingly repaired thebench so that it could once again proud-ly honor a man who gave so much to theBaldwin School District.
What happened to this bench is trag-ic. It showed and manifests a lack ofrespect or concern for what should bean important part of our school andcommunity history. As we all continueour efforts to strive for excellence ineducation, it is paramount that we cele-brate, treasure and protect our past.Honoring those who helped shape oureducational values and set our highstandards will ensure the future of ourschool and community. Those that readthis letter, and remember fondly thoseindividuals who have made our schoolcommunity something of value, shouldtake a moment to reflect upon expedi-ency vs. lasting values. As we preparen reinstate Ibis mcmnrinl we IIUPK Mini

Baldwin board hears many issuesby Joan Delaney
At the February 11, Baldwin Board ofEducation meeting, hoard members dis-cussed and approved a wide range ofitems in addition to hearing a presenta-tion on the district's "Report Card."
The 2003-4 school calendar wasapproved. The first day- of school foryoungsters will he Wednesday,September 3. Schools will he closed forreligious observance on October 6, andfor Columbus Day on October 13.
Schools will be closed for students onNovember 4, for a staff developmentday, on November 11, for Veterans' Dayand on November 27 and 28 forThanksgiving. School will close at theend of the day on December 19 for win-ter recess and students will return onJanuary 5.
In January, schools will be closed forMartin Luther King's birthday starlingon February 13 for Presidents' Week andfor another staff development day onMarch 19.
For spring recess, schools will close atthe end of the day on April 2, and stu-dents will return on April-14. There willbe no school on Memorial Day and theFriday before Memorial Day is slated asa holiday unless the day is needed to off-set a snow day. The last day of schoolwill be June 25, with senior high schoolgraduation on that Sunday.
Board member Mary Clark askedwhen the district was going to considereliminating the winter recess. "Workingparents don't want it and the childrenneed more class lime." SuperintendentKalhy-Weiss noted that "The calendar ispart of the teachers' contract. If theboard wants it, the issue could be put onthe table for discussion during the next
negotiations."The board approved a resolution to be
sent to the governor, assorted legislatorsand the New York State School BoardsAssociation asking that the Wicks Lawbe eliminated. This regulation requiresthat for capital improvement projectsover $50,000, districts must award threeseparate contracts for plumbing and gaslilting; steam healing, hot water, healingventilation and air conditioning appara-tus; and electic wiring and slandard illu-minating fixtures. The resolution hadbeen sent to Albany last year but was notapproved by elected officials.
Enumerating the reasons for the reso-lution, with which other districts concur,it was pointed out that separate bids aremore costly, require scparale'bonds andinsurance, and create problems when thedistrict must resolve disputes amongprime contractors.
Board member B.A. Schoen notedthat a change in the law would not pre-clude a district from awarding separatecontracts if preferable.
A number of policies were discussed.According to law, the net proceeds ofany event held on school properly forwhich admission is charged can only beused for an educational or charitablepurpose.
The board discussed changes in poli-cy regarding who may review a stu-dent's record. The "BuckleyAmendment" contains specific regula-tions- regarding a student's rights andprivacy relative to records and the dis-trict has long had a policy and proce-dures in place.

THE EXCHANGE CLUB OFFREEPORT " honoredJacqueline Vecchio as "stu-dent of the month." Fromleft are Jackie's grandmoth-er Vera Csuman, Jackie,club president Jim Smithand president-elect ErikMahler.
Jacqueline Vecchio isExchange student of month
by Diane DurdallerGuidance Counselor
When you come across Jackie in thehalls of Freeport High School, her quietbut warm smile might lead you tobelieve that Jackie might be over-lookedby those around her. This couldn't befurther from the truth. Jackie is a silentleader who may not have the lead role inthe play or the concert band, but withouther poise, the production or concertwould be missing a strong presence.
There are many people in this worldthat would use the excuse of difficulttimes as a pass to lake the path of leastresistance. Not Jackie. Jackie has over-come tragedies that would have relegat-ed many young people to the sidelinesof life. Instead, Jackie is dedicated,motivated and confident of what it isthat she wants to accomplish.
Jackie is a self-starter who is notafraid of hard work.-This past schoolyear, when she missed not having mathin her schedule, Jackie approached theteacher about adding the class approxi-mately three weeks into the school year.The teacher informed Jackie that shewould be responsible for making up allof the work that she has already missed.Jackie agreed to this arrangement.According to the teacher,.not only didJackie teach herself ten percent of thecurriculum, but she has gone on tobecome one of this Advanced Placementclass's most outstanding students.
Academically, Jackie has shown thatshe is a gifted student who challengesherself in all areas of academia. Jackieranks 13th in one of the most competi-tive classes to come through FreeportHigh School. Jackie has a strong will to
challlenge herself in order to make themost out of the talents that she has beengiven. Jackie gave up part of her sum-mer to attend the National YouthLeadership Forum in Medicine.Historically, it is the most dedicated.andmotivated students who attend thesesummer sessions. In addition to beingactive in her community and ehalleng:
ing herself academically, Jackie has helddown a part time job, while alwaysholding a high standard in both areas.Jackie is the type of young woman thattakes the positive in every experience inorder to promote growth for herself.
Jackie is a young woman who is con-cerned about the present and the futureof our society, and is willing to work tomake things better. She responds well tonew experiences and relishes newresponsibilities. It is her intellectualcuriosity, organizational skills, emotion-al maturity and ability to work coopera-tively with all of her classmates thatimpress all those that Jackie comes incontact with.

Baldwin board sees snapshot of district
03T3
3_e
OSUJQ
UJIE
by Joan Delaney
At the February 1 1 Baldwin Board ofEducation meeting, AssistantSuperintendent Jeffrey Hullman, assistedby.principal Deborah Martin, presentedthe district's Report Card, a comprehen-sive overview that has been called asnapshot of the district.
The presentation included the results oflast year's testing which Board PresidentJames Scannell called "excellent," withthe exception of both the chemistry andphysics Regents exams. Problems withthese exams have caused numerous dis-tricts and educational associationsstatewide to file lawsuits because of"scoring and scaling" irregularities. Notyet received from the stale were compar-ison numbers reflecting county and stateresults.
The standardized tests at the elemen-tary and middle school are rated from oneto four with level one indicating that stu-dents exhibit serious academic deficien-cies; level two indicating that studentsneed extra help to meet standards andultimately pass the Regents; level threeindicating that students meet standardsand with steady growth should pass theRegents and level four indicating that stu-dents exceed Ihe standards and are mov-ing toward high performance on Regentsexams.
In grade four English Language Arts,taken in late January and early February,2(X)2, over three days, only two percentwere in level one; 24 percent in level two;47 percent in level three and 27 percent inlevel four. In fourth grade math three per-cent were in level one; 16 percent in level,tw£;'53 percent in level three and 28 per-cent in level four. In fifth grade socialstuilies which was taken in November,2001, there was only one percent in levelone; seven percent in level two; 68 per-cent in level three and 24 percent in levelfour. Mr. Hollman explained that thesetests are "document based" with shortanswer and essay questions based .oninformation in the documents as well as astudent's knowledge of social studies.
The science test consists of two partsand is scored differently. There were 88percent of Baldwin's fourth graders whoscored at or above the state designatedlevel. The second half of the exam whichincludes hands-on tasks with partners atscience stations is considered a programevaluation and ho individual scores arereported.
Mr. Hollman indicated that they were
"very happy with the results at the middleschool" where there was significantimprovement over last year. In eighthgrade language arts only one percent ofthe students scored in level one; 36 per-cent in level two; 47 percent in level threeand 16 percent in level four. These lasttwo categories show an increase of sevenpercent from last year.
In eighth grade math, the improvementwas greater, with a 19.2 percent increasein levels three and four. Five percentscored in level one; 34 percent in leveltwo; 47 percent in level three and 14 per-cent in level four. Mr. Hollman attributedthe math improvement to a "new plan byMr. Brown (the principal who was a mathteacher) and staff." This included staffdevelopment for teachers, practice testswhich better reflected the actual test's for-mat and content as well as identifyingand working with at risk students.
In intermediate social studies therewere no students at level one; 15 percentat level two; 74 percent at level three andeleven percent at level four. In intermedi-ate level science, again there were no stu-dents in level one; six percent in leveltwo; 38 percent in level three and 56 per-cent in level four.
At the high school, there was signifi-cant success in all the Regents with theexception of the problematic scienceexams. This situation was explained dur-ing the summer when news reports sur-faced on the high statewide failure rale.Mr. Scannell noted, "It is a mystery whatthe state was doing in scoring...it issmoke and mirrors." The state refused toexplain its scoring process, particularlyhow it weighted questions, prompting thelawsuit. Now that the issue is in litiga-tion, the state will not release any infor-mation at all.
In chemistry, 75 percent of the studentspassed the Regents, down from 94 per-cent last year and 97 percent in 2000. Inphysics, only 42 percent passed theRegents down from 97 percent last yearand 94 percent in 2000. It was explainedthat "districts fell sure the problem is Ihe.Regents" since studenls who failed theRegents passed Ihe typically more-diffi-cult Advanced Placemenl exams,
In all other Regents exams, the passingrate ranged from 81 percent to 100 per-cent of the students passing. Last year,studenls "wrote" 440 AdvancedPlacement exams in 16 different subjects,which is an increase of 147 percent since1996. The results showed lhat 27 studenlswere designated "Advanced Placement
Scholar" with a score of three or higherout of a possible score of five on three ormore exams; eleven were designated"Advanced Placement with Honor" withan average of 3.25 on all exams withthree or higher on four exams; and threewere designated Advanced Placementstudents with distinction with an averagescore of 3.5 on all exams with three orhigher on five or more exams.
In order to complete Ihe district profile,the "report card" included "other indica-tors of success." It is this category whichis not reflected in statistical charts that arepublished in newspapers and it is thisaspect of student learning which theboard and administration stress is asmuch a part of a student's and district'sprofile as the ability to "be a good testtaker."
Those indicators include participationin music programs and performances,visual arts studies and competitions, ath-letic participation, scholar athlete teams,extracurricular activities, communityservice and opportunities for parentinvolvement.
Stressing that "If we have your chil-dren long enough, we are successful withthem," Mr. Scannell pointed out the grad-uation statistics which show that 94 per-cent of the students are accepted to col-lege; 71 percent earned Regents diplo-mas, and 17 percent earned Regentsdiplomas with distinction. Sludents wereawarded scholarships and grants totaling$5,566,488. Alhlelic scholarshipsamounted to more than $560,000 andmusic scholarships totalled $96,000. "It'sthe end result thai, matters," noted Mr.Scannell.
Board discussion after the presentalionhighlighted several issues. Test taking is a"moving largel," said Mr. Scannell, sincethe format of various tests continues tochange, with teachers often not receivingpreparatory information that accuratelyreflects the tesl Iheir sludents eventually
take. It is expected lhat when the contentand format of the tests are better knownthat the success rate will increase.
Also noted was the mobility of young-sters. Of the fourth grade youngsters whotook the ELA exam, few remain of the atrisk youngsters who received early inter-vention assistance in the primary grades.
Superintendent Kathy Weiss explainedthat the district is making use of new soft-ware programs which will allow them tocreate a longitudinal study of youngstersincluding their test results, special servic-es, and the grade when they entered thedistrict. "Last year," she noted, "we had achild take the lest who entered the districtthat clay."
Mr. Hollman also pointed out thechanging requirements for graduationand the gradual ending of the safety netgrade of 55 percent for various Regentsexams. Responding to questions regard-ing special education children, hedescribed as "frustrating for youngsters"(he regulation that they must first try andfail (he Regents exams before they areallow to take the Regents CompetencyTest. In other instances state regulationprohibits special education children frombeing allowed certain modifications dur-ing test taking which their IndividualizedEducational Program (IEP) indicates theyshould have.
Board member B.A. Schoen reiteratedongoing school district complaints thatIhe emphasis on testing. Ihe publishingof test results and the lack of limely andadequate feedback from the tests alldefeat the purpose of the elementary andmiddle school tesling. In iheory thesetests are supposed to be indicators forthe districts to identify students in heedof remediation so the district can pro-vide appropriate assistance. Instead, thetesting, particularly when the results arepublished and dislricls are compared,seems to have turned into' an end initself.
Colors of Long IslandYoung artists from Baldwin Middle
School recently displayed their creativetalents through the "Colors of Long IslandStudent Art Expressions" exhibit at theLong Island Museum of American Art,History, and Carriages.
The exhibit showcased a variety of artstyles and techniques as produced by stu-dents from more than 100 Long Islandschools. The Baldwin Middle School hadthree separate group submissions on dis-
play in the exhibition. Members of theACE Club, under Ihe direclion of Mrs.Fish, designed a collage mural of peopleand activities; Mrs. Richardson's eighth-grade students created paintings displayedas a kimono; and Mrs. Vota's sixth-gradestudents submitted paintings of birdsusing a scratchboard technique. In recog-nition of their entries, students receivedfree admission passes to (he museum forthemselves and a family member.

Freeport first gradersstudy pond habitats
Students in Yvette Goldstein's firstgrade class at Bayview Avenue Schoollearned about pond habitats just the wayreal scientists would - by observing life insmall pond habitats that they created intheir own classroom aquariums.
They also learned to observe pondhabitats through the eyes of an artist,when Magnet Facilitator ChristieDeCesare introduced them to the work ofthe famous French impressionist painterClaude Monet. They learned that Monetwas also .interested in pond habitats, andthat before he started his famous paintingsof water lilies, he observed, investigated,reflected and made predictions, just as ascientist would.
With the help of both teachers, students
FIRST
then drew from their scientific observa-tions and their artistic studies to cvealetheir own Water Lilies mural. They addedelements tcr the mural that representedwhat they learned about the plants andanimals in the pond habitats they had cre-ated. Finally, they used their EnglishLanguage Arts skills to incorporate thenew vocabulary they had learned .into themural.
"By learning to draw a connectionbetween their work as artists and scien-tists, these students are developing adeeper understanding of the world theylive in," explained Ms. DeCesare. "Theybecome active learners, developing theability to apply what they learn in theclassroom to other situations."
GRADESTUDENTS atBayview AvenueSchool inFreeport com-bined their scien-tific and artisticknowledge withtheir EnglishLanguage Arts,skills to createthis Monet-styledmural thatdepicts all thethings they'learned about pond habitats. From eft are Magnet Facilitator ChristieDeCesare, Matthew Smith, Caroline Tripptree, Terrell Fergus, Chanel Hindsand teacher Yvette Goldstein.
STUDENTS ATC.O L U M B U SAVENUE EARLYC H I L D H O O DCENTER inFreeport celebrat-ed Chinese NewYear with' theirown colorful drag-on parade. Theparade was a partof a multiculturalunit in which chil-dren studied thehistory and cus-toms associatedwith the holiday.
Gung hay fat choy!fThe Pre-K and Kindergarten students at
Columbus Avenue Early ChildhoodCenter in Freeport celebrated ChineseNew Year with a noisy and colorfulDragon Parade throughout the halls of theschool. As a staff member dressed in aChinese dragon costume snaked his waythrough the halls, the students joinedbehind him carrying Chinese lanterns,noisemakers and dragons that they madethemselves.
But the celebration wasn't just a funday at school - it was really a multicul-tural learning experience. The childrenlearned that "Gung Hay Fat Choy" means"wishing you good fortune and prosperi-ty" in Chinese. They know that theChinese make lots of noise in the dragon
parade to scare off bad luck and bringgood fortune in the New Year, and thatthey wear red because red is the color ofhappiness.
In their classrooms, everyone readbooks about the holiday. Some classeslearned to make Chinese characters, somepracticed eating with chopsticks, othersmade up fortunes for fortune cookies.
"We have over 80 ethnicities represent-ed in our school, so we try to help our stu-dents learn as much as they can about var-ious cultures," said Principal PeggyMiller.
"And of course, any time we can incor-porate any kind of music or movement,that really reinforces what we are teach-ing."

policy has been revised five times infive years because of various changes ingovernmental regulations. Now the "NoChild Left Behind Act," requires thatupon request school districts arerequired to release the names, addresses,and phone numbers of high school stu-dents to military recruiters. There is,however, an "opt out" provision bywhich a parent, or student over 18, canelect not to allow this information to bereleased. The "opt out" provision cannotbe applied only to military recruiters. Itdoes not affect regular transcript andcollege application materials.
By practice the district does notrelease that type of information to prof-it-making groups. The "opt out" provi-sion would affect such requests as thoseby legislators who send graduates con-gratulatory letters.
The board will allow students in grade11 and 12 to apply for the half day
BOCES cultural arts program. Thisapplication requires approval of theprincipal, the recommendation of theguidance counselor, and an audition andacceptance by BOCES.
The board is also initiating a policyrelative to hazing which will followsimilar procedures to those included inpolicies involving sexual harassmentand bullying. By law hazing is designat-ed a crime.
Although the district does not typical-ly accept tuition paying students, they doset tuition rates in case reimbursement isnecessary for a student illegally attend-ing school in the district. In a few cases,there are some reciprocal programs withother districts involving special educa-tion students and tuition is paid.
Tuition costs are: K-6 regular pro-gram- $8,015; Grades 7-12, $10,321.For special education the rates are:Grades K-6, $34,955; Grades 7-12,$37,261.

Debate is necessary
To The Leader:As we teeter on the precipice of war, a
healthy debate is necessary. Opposingviews must be aired and be heard. Ourelected officials have a duty to listen totheir constituents whether they agree ornot. Here on Long Island all the repre-sentatives voted for the Iraq resolution.All but one is willing to listen to voicesof opposition.
A national effort was undertaken acouple of weeks ago by antiwar groupsto have people lobby their representa-tives to choose peace over war. Rep.McCarthy invited her constituents intoher office to explain her positions andlisten to theirs. While they may havehad differing opinions, a civil, courteousdiscussion resulted. There was a differ-ent story at the Massapequa Park office
of Rep. Peter King. Instead of meetingwith his constituents who offered anopposing view, he called the police tomake them leave. Let me repeat that:Peter King called the police on his con-stituents. He claims that he does notwant to be a part of "undermining thePresident." I would like to know howairing opposing views on the reasoningbehind war is "undermining." How doesmeeting with constituents do any harm?Peter King serves at pleasure of his con-stituents. They are to be heard, notignored or arrested for trying to speakwith him in the office they pay for.Cowering in his office from opposingviews and hiding behind a skewed ideaof patriotism is not serving his districtwell. King has said he is interested ingaining a seat the the senate which isabove all a deliberative body. His inabil-ity to consider opposing views are notwell-suited for that job.

Board thinks it is more important to givepeople their just due. We believe theadministrators deserved their 2002-03salary increases. However, we decidedto postpone taking action on the increas-es until after we settled the teachers'contract. Unfortunately, because thecontract negotiations are still inprogress, it is unfair to make other
groups continue to wait."The following salaries were approved
retroactive to July 1, 2002:Dr. Bediako, $128,960; Sophie
