• Connetquot appoints interim superintendent (trihamletnews.com) — Patchogue gets a brief mention as the home of Eastern Suffolk BOCES, where newly appointed interim superintendent Peggie Staib previously worked before returning to lead Connetquot schools. The board approved a per-diem contract amid leadership turnover and resident concerns about transparency following the prior superintendent's quiet departure and a delayed records request. Local families may see continued transition as the district searches for permanent leadership.
