Copiague Union Free School District, also known as Copiague Public Schools, is a school district headquartered in Copiague, New York.

Contents

The district, in the Town of Babylon, Suffolk County, [1] includes most of Copiague, the eastern portion of North Amityville, and small portions of East Farmingdale and North Lindenhurst. [2]

History

In 1955 a three-member board consisting of Donald E. Muncy, the Town of Babylon Supervisor; John P. McGuire, the Supervisory School Superintendent; and Rowland Scott, the Babylon Town Clerk, reassigned a part of the Copiague district to the Amityville Union Free School District. The Copiague district planned to file an appeal with the New York State government. [3] A previous plan would have involved a piece of Amityville being in the Copiague district, and some residents wanted to, in return, ask for seceding from Amityville. [4]

In 2022 the enrollment count was 5,000. [5]
