SUNY Board of Trustee approves South Shore Charter School to open in September 2022
Central Islip, NY: New York State Education Department officials have amplified the voices of the Central Islip Teacher’s Union and School District officials in their opposition to the approval of South Shore Charter School by SUNY. This came as a surprise, especially given the fact that recent state exam data shows that only 28% of Central Islip students were proficient in Reading and Math.
“We are pleased with the fact that the State University of New York has listened to the voices of the hundreds of Central Islip parents and community leaders who are overwhelmingly supporting the establishment of South Shore Charter School” says Dermoth Mattison, South Shore Charter School’s founder and Executive Director.
