Lack of administrative support at Wantagh Elementary School!
Currently, we have only one administrative person (Dr.Sternberg) for 716 students and over 70 staff members. Forest Lake and Mandalay operate with HALF the number of students and personnel. With continuing increase in state mandated requirements it will be impossible for Dr.Sternberg to fulfill them alone. There are programs that our Assistant principal would oversee that have been stopped and/or put on hold due to lack of leadership.
Elementary schools throughout Nassau county that are as large as ours (13 of them) all have full time AP's.
Please let Wantagh BOE know that we request the appropriate administartive staff to be restored, as soon as possible, to keep our school for our children the best educational source it can be.
