Schools are no place for vulgar words and name-calling, and neither should education board meetings. At least that’s what a number of parents are demanding in the wake of one Elmont education board trustee reportedly doing just that in the middle of a meeting — and now they want him to answer for his transgression.

Sewanhaka Central High School District agrees with the findings; the West Hempstead Union Free district does not.

The parents of children in the Elmont Union Free School District have a lot of critiques about the previous, and current, Board of Education.

A 25-page separation agreement obtained by Newsday shows the principal will get his $207,816.84 salary and additional bonuses worth a potential $203,908.50 through next school year, but fails to explain why the district sought his resignation.

A popular principal whose unexpected departure at the start of the school year led to student and parent protests before his reinstatement weeks later is leaving in June, school officials said.

The purpose of the discussion was to educate the public on the procedures involved in running for the school board, and what candidates could expect once elected.
