Sterling National Bank of Montebello, New York, has announced that it will merge with Webster Bank of Waterbury, Connecticut. Situated on the northwest corner of Jackson Avenue and Merrick Road, Long Island Savings Bank (originally of Centereach) replaced Powell's Hotel. Astoria Savings purchased LISB in 1998, and Sterling bought out Astoria in 2017. Now Webster is in talks to purchase Sterling.

I recently came across a list of school district PrK-12 enrollments in New York State. The Excel document can be found from this page. I list below some that might be of interest, for comparison sake.

It appears that the Seaford NY school budget vote asks merely a yes/no vote on a 2021/2022 budget of $74, 717,812. There is one open seat on the Board of Education, but only one candidate, Andrea Parisi. The term is three years.

On the same ballot is the Library Budget, $2,185,366, yes/no. There is one open trustee seat with one candidate, Margaret D. Grub. The term is five years.

Voting is at the elementary schools from 7 a.m. to 9 p.m. Please click on the photo below to enlarge it.
The annual NY Board of Education budget meeting has sometimes been both illuminating and contentious. On May 5, 2021, it was held in the high school auditorium with admission limited to those who wore approved masks. Livestream on YouTube failed.
Go to the Seaford Board of Education Meeting Channel, linked HERE. Note that the May 5th meeting has one segment lasting 8:43 minutes (mostly a single statement) and another segment of 7:10 minutes.
Apparently the Board of Education cannot publish the appropriate link to an upcoming public meeting until they start the camera.
