Neville Georges, a former Uniondale school district Board of Education trustee, died on Feb. 27. He was 85.
Georges, a resident of Uniondale for more than 30 years, was also a substitute teacher and PTA/PTSA Council member at Grand Avenue School, Lawrence Road Middle School and Uniondale High School.
He began his tenure on the Uniondale board in 1999. School district officials said, he played an integral role in the development of the community advisory committee and was responsible for the introduction of a non-voting student position on the board. He retired as a trustee in June 2020.
Georges will be remembered for what is considered by school officials as his remarkable impact on the Uniondale community. He enhanced the educational experiences of generations of students in his diverse positions, they added.

Katrice Georges, Uniondale High School class of 1999, is currently a Uniondale High math teacher, and Nicole Georges, Class of 2001, is a former Uniondale High School summer school teacher. Both attended Grand Avenue School and Lawrence Road Middle School as well.
