East Rockaway Union Free School District Explained

East Rockaway School District is a school district headquartered in East Rockaway, New York. The district was established in 1924.[1] The district is the smallest in Nassau County. In 1992 it had 1,150 students.[2]

At one time the East Rockaway School District proposed paying the Lynbrook Public Schools to have East Rockaway students in grades 7 through 12 attend public schools in Lynbrook; the Lynbrook district rejected the offer. In 1992 Robert Parry, the superintendent of the East Rockaway district, stated that it was still interested in consolidating with another district.[2]
