JHS senior gets his “day”

BY GEORGE HABER

The Jericho School Board agreed to make a calendar change this year and declared Friday, May 26, “Ethan Brown Snow Day.” The day is being named after the high school senior who questioned Superintendent Grishman at the March Board meeting as to why the district did not declare a snow day last winter when conditions in some parts of Jericho were challenging to navigate because of ice and snow remains on roadways.

Student Brown had questioned Superintendent Grishman at the Board meeting, who said he had to make an early decision and at that time it seemed no weather and road condition problem would hinder student or faculty access to the schools in the district.

Brown said he was very pleased with the district’s response to his criticism of the situation and was pleased with the way the superintendent responded to his criticism.
