Absentee Ballots Cause Confusion In Upcoming East Quogue School Vote
THe East Quogue School has 4 sections of kindergarten not 5. In addition, the average kindergarten class size is 18, not 14. New kindergarten students are continuing to enroll. For example, a new student just enrolled this past Wednesday. " Jan 30, 12 10:10 AM

East Quogue Land Referendum Set For February 28
I'm still not sure why the issue of capacity is a topic. As has been stated, there is no such thing as "educational capacity". If a school district wanted to squeeze 50 students into a room, it is the locally elected Board of Education's decision to do so. For those continuing to try and create a story out of nothing, you are searching for an answer that doesn't exist. There are occupancy numbers in the gymnasium and cafetorium. That's it! The District receives aid based upon building units and instructional space. There is no such thing as educational capacity. Research will show the importance of class size and student achievement. I don't know of many successful programs where the objective was to fill a room to "capacity" for educational purposes. Every room in the building is in use. Compare the District's class sizes with our neighbors in Westhampton Beach, Quogue and Remsenberg. I think you will find strking similarities and in most cases, class sizes being larger in EQ. Over the past decade the District has already lost the Community Room, administrative office space and a Science Lab to accomodate instructional needs. That is the purpose of a school...to educate.

East Quogue Residents Vote In Favor Of Purchasing Property Adjacent To Elementary School
It's nice to see that the vote reflected the true feeling of the community. Unfortunately, there was quite a bit of mean spirited, malicious, unsettling and disrespectful behavior directed towards the District throughout this process. I think the school did a great job of listening to the valid points community members made while skillfully handling the outlandish claims made against them. Tonight's result typifies the term, "Winning with class." Proud of the EQ Community for once again working together when an important decision needs to be made. " Feb 28, 12 11:18 PM
