Rockville Centre School District

What Rockville Centre School District does

Rockville Centre Union Free School District is a New York State public K-12 school district serving residents of Rockville Centre on Long Island. The district operates seven schools — five elementary schools (Floyd B. Watson, Francis F. Wilson, Jennie E. Hewitt, Riverside, William S. Covert), South Side Middle School (grades 6-8), and South Side High School (grades 9-12) — along with a central administrative office at 128 Shepherd Street. Programming spans general academics, Special Education and Pupil Personnel Services, an International Baccalaureate (IB) curriculum at the high school, comprehensive athletics, visual and performing arts (recognized by the NAMM Foundation for eight consecutive years), and Community Education offerings including Adult Education and Project Great childcare.

The district's technology infrastructure is built entirely on third-party ed-tech SaaS: PowerSchool for student information and the parent portal, ParentSquare for district-wide family communication, Follett Destiny for library management (with SORA/Overdrive for e-books), FinalForms for athletic registration, Frontline for staff absence management, and Hudl for athletic livestreaming, layered on Google Workspace for Education and Chromebooks. Behavioral health services are delivered through a strategic partnership with Northwell Health, providing on-site Behavioral Health Centers for urgent intervention, crisis care, and care coordination — a capability uncommon among peer districts. The district maintains compliance with NYS Education Law 2-d, FERPA, Section 504, and Title II accessibility requirements.

Revenue is generated primarily through local property taxes and New York State education aid, with annual budgets subject to voter approval (the 2026-2027 budget passed with concurrent elections of Christa Dorrego and MaryBeth Joyce to the Board of Education). Community Education programs — Adult Education, Project Great childcare, and enrichment courses — constitute a secondary fee-based revenue stream available to community members. As a governmental entity, the district is not privately owned, has no parent company, and is not subject to equity capital markets; governance is by an elected Board of Education with day-to-day administration by Superintendent Matthew Gaven and a leadership team of assistant superintendents and school principals.
