Today's riddle: What are the two favorite words for a shark to hear? 🤔 (Answer below!)
• Great Neck schools welcome three student members to board (longislandpress.com) — Great Neck Public Schools has added three high school seniors as nonvoting members of the Board of Education, giving students a direct voice in district discussions this school year. Representing Village, North, and South High, they'll sit at the dais, share student perspectives on key issues, and receive statewide training in civic engagement and leadership.
• 15 years ago, an SAT cheating scandal on Long Island changed test taking nationwide (newsday.com) — Fifteen years after an SAT cheating ring centered on Great Neck students made national headlines, educators and researchers are still debating how much standardized tests should matter for college admissions. The story revisits how local suspicions at Great Neck North helped uncover the scheme and explains how the fallout reshaped test security and contributed to today's largely test-optional landscape.
