The West Hempstead Board of Education will hold its January business meeting tonight at 7:30 p.m. inside West Hempstead High School.
During the meeting, Superintendent John Hogan and the board will be recognizing student athletes. The board will also be voting on staff and tenure appointments, resignations and compensation days for the Special Education Director.
Two memorandum of agreements -- one with the West Hempstead Office Staff Association and another with the West Hempstead Education Association -- pertaining to the Feburary recess are on the agenda.
