The Lynbrook Public School District is pleased to announce that, once again, it has been awarded certificates of achievement for excellence in financial reporting from two nationally recognized institutions.

Recognizing the district’s comprehensive financial reporting in the 2024 fiscal year, the certificates of achievement were awarded by the Government Finance Officers Association (GFOA) and the Association of School Business Officials International (ASBO). The Certificate of Achievement for Excellence in Financial Reporting from GFOA is the highest form of recognition in governmental accounting and financial reporting, and its attainment represents a significant accomplishment by a government and its management. The Certificate of Excellence in Financial Reporting from ASBO similarly represents the district’s commitment to the highest standards of transparency and financial reporting.

“Receiving these two certificates of achievement would not be possible without the dedication and incredible hard work of every staff member in the business office,” Assistant Superintendent for Finance, Operations and Information Systems Joel C. Press, Esq., said. “Each year, we strive to provide the thoughtful budget balancing and transparency that Lynbrook residents deserve.”

The tradition continued at North Middle School and Marion Street Elementary in the Lynbrook School District on May 12 as members of the charitable organization Ride for Life were warmly greeted by the community.

Students at both schools gathered outside with signs and energetic cheers to welcome representatives of Ride for Life. The community works with the organization every year to support their quest for a cure and treatment for ALS, or Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis, a neurodivergent disease that affects motor functions. As part of their campaign, ALS patients visit the schools and make their way through the crowds as students make their support shown. At Marion Street, music teacher Anna Upston led students in song dedicated to ALS patients before the Student Council presented a donation to organization members. Both North Middle and Marion Street will continue to fundraise through the end of the school year.
