Board creates small advisory Curriculum & Instruction working group

Manhasset Union Free School District Board of Education · August 18, 2026

Summary

The administration proposed a five‑meeting advisory working group to review instruction and assessment; it will be small, student-centered, and explicitly will not write curriculum, evaluate staff, or set policy.

An administrator identified as Dr. Chowski told the board the working group is intended to bring diverse stakeholder perspectives to continuous improvement of district instruction and assessment. “It is designed to for continuous improvement, reviewing district programs and examining student learning instruction,” Dr. Chowski said, describing a group that will be advisory and limited in scope.

Dr. Chowski outlined membership that will include administrators, teachers, two parents nominated by the SEA, two students (grades 10–12), and a board liaison (Mrs. Jenna Rizzo). The administration emphasized the group will not write or approve curricula, will not evaluate personnel, and will not make budgetary or purchasing decisions; it will meet five times and can be sunset if no longer needed.
