What Manhasset Union Free School District does

Manhasset Union Free School District is a public K-12 school district organized under New York State Education Law as a political subdivision of the state, serving the Manhasset community on Long Island, New York. The district operates three schools: Munsey Park Elementary (grades K-6), Shelter Rock Elementary (grades K-6), and Manhasset Secondary School (grades 7-12), enrolling resident students and providing a comprehensive curriculum aligned with NYS Learning Standards across English Language Arts, Mathematics, Science, Social Studies, World Languages (French, Italian, Spanish, and Chinese added in 2024-25), ENL, Special Education, Physical Education, and Fine and Performing Arts. Course offerings extend to Advanced Placement pathways and the Project Lead The Way (PLTW) STEM curriculum, including Automation & Robotics and Design & Modeling at the middle school level and Introduction to Engineering at the high school level. The district's technology stack centers on Canvas Learning Management System (adopted 2018) for course management and parent observer accounts, ClassLink for single sign-on across digital resources, NWEA MAP Growth for tri-annual computer-adaptive assessment in grades K-6, Google Apps for Education for productivity, and a 1:1 Chromebook program covering grades 3-12 (with K-2 in-building devices). The district maintains FERPA, COPPA, NYS Education Law 2-d, and NIST CSF v1.1 compliance postures.

The district is funded through a combination of local property taxes, New York State education aid, and federal grants, with budgets approved annually by district voters. Notable capital inflows include $432,581 from New York State's Smart Schools Bond Act and an $86,500 gift from the Tower Foundation of Manhasset (announced June 25, 2026) to support a new Business Suite and Virtual Enterprise Program. Ancillary revenue streams are limited to optional Chromebook insurance through Worth Avenue Group ($40 per device per year) and replacement fees ($360-$380) per Board Policy 8330-E; no tuition is charged to resident students. The district's go-to-market is purely direct-to-consumer via residency-based enrollment through the Central Registration office, with engagement reinforced through Board of Education meetings, the monthly 'Set Spotlight' e-newsletter, and active social media channels. Day-to-day operations are governed by an elected Board of Education and administered by an Interim Superintendent (Dr. Christopher J. Pellettieri) supported by a leadership team spanning Curriculum and Instruction, Business and Operations, Human Resources, and Student Services.
