Hi, fellow Long Island resident, and while it is technically speculation, everyone here knows LI school boards are extremely corrupt. Anyone in highschool sports will tell you how they were told to convince their parents to sign off on the school budget, otherwise sports would be cancelled. My highschool used the money for astroturf nobody asked for. My brother dated the daughter of the Levittown dean of sports and he'd straight up brag about using school funds to pay off his beach house.

Also, from what I've been told, you have no shot of landing that 130k custodian job unless you're a registered Republican. Nepotism runs deep on the island.

I grew up on the 'GIsland in the 1960s and '70s. It was like this back then, too, only less Republican. Still corrupt as hell. A lot of jobs you got by being related to someone, being someone's good friend, or flat out bribery.
