The Board of Education also appointed the slate of officers for the 2026-27 school year, including: April Coppola, President, Board of Education; Angelo Cassarino, Vice President, Board of Education; Kevin Coster, Superintendent of Schools; Carolyn Visintin, District Clerk; Deborah Currao, District Treasurer; and Mary Sidaras, Deputy District Treasurer.

Additionally, the three newest ex-officio student Board of Education members took the oath of office for the 2026-27 school year. The inclusion of student board members began this past school year in accordance with a law requiring all school districts operating a high school to have at least one high school student serve as a non-voting member of their boards of education. This program got off to a great start at William Floyd, as the inaugural group of student board members exceeded expectations and provided the Board of Education with many valuable perspectives and insights throughout the year!

The Board of Education appointed the following students to serve as student board members for the 2026-27 school year: rising senior Erin Chen, rising junior Andrew Peralta Santos and rising senior Arihanna Smith.
