Syosset has 7,000 students and 10 schools in the district.  It pays superintendent Carole Hankin $542,000 per year in salary and benefits. Additional investigation by MyFoxNy.com revealed that an administrative assistant is being paid over $100,000 per year. Hankin's salary has drawn the ire of NY Governor Andrew Cuomo who called it an example of wasteful school spending.

In a move that is sure to thow gasoline on the fire, the Syosset school system has announced that Hankin will not get a raise next year.
