“I am truly honored and grateful for the trust placed upon me in selecting me as the director of special education for the Wyandanch School District,” Brown said. “I do not take this responsibility lightly, and I thank the members of the Board, Superintendent Dr. Erik Wright and members of our district leadership team for the confidence they have shown in my ability to serve our students and families. I am committed to ensuring that every student receives high quality instruction, individualized supports and access to opportunities that allow them to be as successful as possible. By working collaboratively with our educators, related service providers, administrators and families, I believe we can build responsive, inclusive programs that truly meet the needs of every learner. Together, as One Wyandanch, we will continue to stand strong supporting our students the way a wolf pack supports one another, ensuring no child walks their educational journey alone. I am thankful for this opportunity and excited to continue to serve the Wyandanch community with dedication, integrity and purpose.
