The Board of Education consists of five members, each elected by the registered voters of the Massapequa Union Free School District, Town of Oyster Bay, for three-year terms, serving without pay. The Board, representing the residents of the District, is the legislative and policy-making body responsible for all regulations governing public education within District schools. The Board of Education delegates the overall management of these policies to the Superintendent of Schools as its Chief Executive Officer. The Superintendent may, in turn, further delegate authority to the administrative staff, to faculty members, and to students.

The Board of Education generally holds two business meetings per month, normally scheduled on the first and third Thursday of each month in the Board Room, Administrative Wing of Massapequa High School, except as noted on the calendar. Meetings are called to order at 7:00 PM, at which time the Board enters executive session for the purpose of discussing specific personnel, negotiations and/or contractual items. The public session begins at approximately 8:00 PM. The public is welcome and encouraged to attend and participate in all regular meetings of the Board of Education. Residents’ input and questions will be addressed within reasonable time frames and procedures as set by the Board of Education.
