Sal Khan and West Hempstead: Building for New York's New Graduation Requirements
Live Conversation | September 23, 2026 | 12:00 PM ET
West Hempstead UFSD has spent eighteen months turning Khan Academy from an informal classroom tool into a districtwide practice, now used daily by classroom teachers, ENL staff, intervention specialists, speech therapists, and PE teachers, reaching approximately 1,660 students across the district.
On September 23, Sal Khan will join the teachers and leaders behind that work for a live conversation:
Dina Reilly, Assistant Superintendent for Curriculum and Instruction
Dr. Katie DiGregorio, Director of Learning — ENL, Data, & Student Success
Ms. Brianna Monzert, Cornwell Avenue School
Ms. Kelly Lynch, George Washington Intermediate School
Ms. Catherine Klein, Secondary School
Ms. Erin Geiger, Secondary School
Topics will include:
Why West Hempstead built toward New York's new graduation requirements before the rules were finalized
What skill-level mastery data reveals that a report card cannot
Why teachers were asked to try AI tools a set number of times, not to master them, and why that approach succeeded where a mandate would not
How the district responded when students began prompting AI for answers instead of using it to learn
Districts navigating the same shift toward demonstrated proficiency are encouraged to attend.

Come check out our Rams who are playing home this week!
Proud of our band members for sharing their time and talent to support the local Civics Association's 9/11 Remembrance event. Thank you to everyone who joined us to honor and remember.
Teamwork in action! Our VE students are sitting down, peer-reviewing, and sharpening their resumes for the professional world. From refining bullet points to highlighting key skills, they’re getting job-ready together!
Honoring history through reflection, learning, and action. Today, our students engaged in meaningful discussions reflecting on the 25th anniversary of 9/11. Our PE classes also took on the 9/11 Tribute Challenge—pushing through to honor our brave first responders.
