Box 9195 Garden City, New York 11530-9195 Dear Dr. Langlois: As you are aware, there have been reports in the press that the Hempstead Union Free School District, in the current school year, has delayed the enrollment of approximately 34 Hispanic students who are currently living within the school district.
