Open Quote East Meadow School District in East Meadow N.Y. does not care about your child. They will put your child in detention for being late. You as a parent cannot call in to say your child is running late. It's unfair a child be put in detention and made fun of by the staff. You will need to hire a lawyer if you have any complaints about East Meadow N.Y. schools. Close Quote
