Dear GNPS Community,

Thank you to everyone who took the time to participate in yesterday’s Budget Vote and Board of Education Election. The strong approval of the proposed budget reflects clear community support for the spending plan developed by the Administration and endorsed by the Board. The final results were:

Yes: 1337 No: 320

As many of you know, the budget process began back in early fall. Last night’s outcome represents the result of months of thoughtful analysis, stakeholder input, board discussions, and community engagement. On behalf of the Board of Education, the District Administration, and myself—thank you for your support.

Voter approval of Proposition Two, which grants voter permission to pursue the construction of a synthetic field on the grounds of North Middle School, also passed at a rate of:

Yes: 1258     No: 418

Congratulations to Mrs. Peirez on her re-election to the Board of Education for a three-year term. We look forward to her continued work to support the students, staff and residents of GNPS. 

As I’ve often said during my time in Great Neck Public Schools: The race for excellence has no finish line. I look forward to continuing this journey with all of you. Together, we remain committed to preserving and enhancing the exceptional programs and opportunities that define GNPS. With your support, our students, faculty, and staff will continue to thrive and inspire.

There is much to celebrate in the coming weeks—we look forward to sharing those moments with you. On behalf of the Board of Education and the entire District Administration, thank you for your ongoing commitment to discovering greatness.

Warm regards,

Kenneth R. Bossert, Ed.D.
Superintendent of Schools
