Riding a bicycle is a childhood rite of passage and thanks to Debbie Metz and her work with AMBUCS LI and the Mastic Sports Club’s Kyle Sports for Special Needs inclusion program, in collaboration with the William Floyd School District, more children from our community are having that opportunity.
The New York State Board of Regents has issued new regulations for mandatory lockdown drills beginning in the 2024-25 school year. These new regulations for lockdown drills include advanced notice for parents/guardians, as well as ensuring that lockdown drills are “trauma informed” and conducted in a developmentally and age-appropriate manner.
