Franklin Square Union Free School District

Last updated

The Franklin Square Union Free School District is a pre kindergarten to 6th grade elementary school district located in Franklin Square, New York in Nassau County Long Island. Its students are enrolled in three elementary schools, John Street School, Polk Street School and Washington Street School, with Washington Street School having the highest test rates in the district.[ citation needed ]

The district feeds into the Sewanhaka Central High School District, which has five high schools. Most Franklin Square students continue their education at H. Frank Carey Junior/Senior High School, though it is possible for students to attend one of the other schools in the high school district and a slight minority of students in the district does go to Sewanhaka CHSD but most do go to Carey. Some catholic students that do not want to go to Carey do go to Kellenberg Memorial High School but most go to Carey.[ citation needed ]

St. Catherine of Siena Catholic School, of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Rockville Centre, was scheduled to close in 2012, so the Franklin Square UFSD no longer needed to transport students to and from that school. FSUFSD superintendent Patrick Manley anticipated that his district would gain 39 students from the closure. [1]

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Administrative divisions of New York (state)</span> Administrative divisions of New York State

The administrative divisions of New York are the various units of government that provide local services in the State of New York. The state is divided into boroughs, counties, cities, towns, and villages. They are municipal corporations, chartered (created) by the New York State Legislature, as under the New York State Constitution the only body that can create governmental units is the state. All of them have their own governments, sometimes with no paid employees, that provide local services. Centers of population that are not incorporated and have no government or local services are designated hamlets. Whether a municipality is defined as a borough, city, town, or village is determined not by population or land area, but rather on the form of government selected by the residents and approved by the New York State Legislature. Each type of local government is granted specific home rule powers by the New York State Constitution. There are still occasional changes as a village becomes a city, or a village dissolves, each of which requires legislative action. New York also has various corporate entities that provide local services and have their own administrative structures (governments), such as school and fire districts. These are not found in all counties.
