Dear Franklin Square Staff,
I am thrilled to share that our 2026–27 school district budget passed overwhelmingly yesterday. This result is a powerful reflection of the trust our community places in our schools — and that trust exists because of you.
Every day, you show up for the children of Franklin Square with dedication, creativity, and heart. The community’s vote is, in many ways, a vote of confidence in the work you do inside and outside our buildings. Because of your efforts, we are able to preserve everything that makes our schools special — outstanding academics, arts and enrichment, and the kind of caring environment that our families believe in.
This was on full display last night, as art and music filled our schools and was beautifully highlighted in this morning’s Newsday article featuring one of our own, Jason O’Connor of Washington Street School. If you would like to read the article, the link is below.

Finally, I am pleased to share that Mr. Patrick Amato has been elected to our Board of Education. We look forward to his leadership and his commitment to the children and families we serve together.
Thank you for everything you give to this district. It is a privilege to work alongside each of you.
Best,
Dr. Jared T. Bloom
Superintendent of Schools
