Homeless Student Forum Wednesday's Big Event in Hauppauge
Here's what you need to know.
Good morning, Hauppauge. Wednesday is looking to be a dramatic day in town, with the public forum on the impact homeless children are having on Hauppauge School District set for 7 p.m. at the Suffolk County Legislative Auditorium. The county has said its hand are tied, but promised the Hauppauge School District it would hold this meeting.
County Executive Steve Bellone also sent a letter to the district about the homeless students, outlining the county's role and state laws. We will share that letter later this morning.
Weather
It's definitely cooler in town, and today's high of 64 degrees will keep it feeling like fall. However, this afternoon's high tide comes with a coastal flood watch, according to the National Weather Service, with wind-driven tides expected to be more than a foot higher than normal.
Traffic
Route 347 and Route 111 construction continues to slow down the flow of traffic around Hauppauge, which at this point most folks are used to. Check out the traffic map above for up-to-date info.
Events
Sports Book Group discussing "Born to Run: A Hidden Tribe, Superathletes, and the Greatest Race the World Has Never Seen" by Christopher McDougall, Hauppauge Public Library, 7 p.m.
Bulletin
Hurricane Sandy disrupted many lives in the Three Village area, where in pockets power was cut for more than a week. Ahead of the one-year anniversary we're trying to compile the personal stories from community members about what the storm dealt them, and how they recovered. Will you share?

In Case you Missed It
Tim Bishop won't face Altschuler again, but he will have to contend with a few new faces who want his job.
That eyesore abandoned service station at the corner of Route 347 and Route 111 will be the subject of a public hearing in town, with the local politicians examining new plans to put a gas station there.
