Mineola parents continued to call for Superintendent Michael Nagler’s resignation and for additional investigations into how he and the board permitted a video education program, called Build Your Own Grade, developed by Nagler and his 19-year-old son, James, be used in the district’s eighth-grade classrooms this year.

The school board meeting was the third consecutive one that drew over a dozen parent speakers to the podium, who raised concerns over the since-terminated program. Their concerns ranged from the district never signing a contract or data privacy agreement with Quave, the digital program for the education project, to stress, anxiety and a loss of learning experienced by students.
