Roslyn Union Free School District

What Roslyn Union Free School District does

Roslyn Union Free School District is a public K-12 school district serving 3,330+ students across five schools on the north shore of Long Island, New York. It is governed by an elected Board of Education and operated with an 874-person staff, including approximately 350 instructional staff supporting a roughly 7:1 student-teacher ratio. The district offers 27 AP courses, 30 college-credit courses, and a portfolio of specialized STEM programs including EV Engineering, Drone Technology, and Hydroponics, alongside College Board AP School Honor Roll Platinum Distinction.

The district's technology stack centers on Canvas as the LMS, IXL for skills practice, Khanmigo (Khan Academy's AI tutor) district-wide, and an in-house AI platform built on Ollama running on Nvidia RTX 5000 Ada GPUs that hosts models from Google, Meta AI, and Microsoft alongside a custom-built district GPT. Instructional supplements include AI Interpretative Earbuds for real-time translation. Curricular expansion in 2024-2025 added 27 new courses, including AI, prompt engineering, financial literacy, and a Leadership Academy, with AI ethics introduced at the elementary level.

Roslyn's funding model is that of a New York public school district: approximately 80% of revenue derives from local property taxes, with the balance split between state aid (~8%) and federal sources, supplemented by grants and miscellaneous income. Annual budgets must pass voter referendum, and the district has approved successive increases — $132.6M (FY2024-2025), $136.8M (FY2025-2026), and $140.9M (FY2026-2027, a 3.07% increase). Ancillary programs include Universal Pre-K, free meals for all students, an Adult Continuing Education program, and the Roslyn Summer Academy, which together extend the service surface beyond the core K-12 cohort.
