Once There Was A School

Green Island Union Free School District superintendent Dr. Michael Mugits has invested 36 years of his life into public school administration.
During that time, he has served as a principal at the elementary, junior high, and high school levels in rural, suburban, and urban environments. This resume makes him qualified to assess some of the major changes facing public education today.
Dr. Mugits recently wrote a book entitled From Once There Was a School: To A School Was Once There detailing some of the numerous challenges facing school districts across the state including the Common Core Learning Standards, APPR, the tax cap and equitable funding. The book is written in the style of a children’s book, with creative words in rhyme with detailed illustrations.

“I just wanted to express myself,” Mugits said. “I wanted to take the experiences, ideas and feelings I’ve had and reflect on them in a venue now that’s compressed in time, money and ever-increasing expectations."
