Plainedge School District will be conducting a survey of parents/guardians of students in kindergarten through fifth grade who attend the Schwarting, East Plain or JH West Schools, to determine if there is any interest in a school breakfast program. If insufficient interest is determined, an exemption to participate in the program will be requested by the Plainedge School Board of Education to the NY State Education Department.
Parents and taxpayers are asked to share their concerns regarding the district’s survey and exception request by contacting Edward Ross, District School Lunch Director at Plainedge High School, 241 Wyngate Drive, NY 11758 or by calling 922-7594.
