The Long Beach City School District is a
public school district that provides education to
The City of Long Beach,
Lido Beach,
Point Lookout and
East Atlantic Beach on the South Shore of
Long Island,
New York. It currently houses a total of 3,583 students in all grades.
The school board is composed of five elected members. Currently, the board members are: Dennis Ryan, Ph.D. (President), Maureen Vrona, Esq. (Vice President), Anne Conway, Sam Pinto, and Tina Posterli.
Although it identifies publicly as Long Beach Public Schools, it is actually not a 'public school district'—a legal term in New York—but an 'extended city school district', meaning it has a great deal more autonomy and flexibility than a regular school district.
