“I knew then there had to be a problem with the deficit,” he said, “but at that time I couldn’t tell how large the deficit was.”- Richard P. Mills.[2]

Roosevelt is the only district for which the state refuses, even with report cards an unprecedented six months late, to release, for the school under their direct control, to publish the schools report card, stating: "The New York State Education Department is reviewing the report card data submitted by Roosevelt Union Free School District. Report cards for the district will be made available when the data review has been completed."[3]
