What is the IAB?

The Smithtown IAB is a group of dedicated partners who work with the students of Smithtown Schools to "ENHANCE" the valuable education already going on in the Classrooms of our District! 

The Smithtown Central School District's "Industry Advisory Board" is composed of representatives from the business, government, parental and the educational community.
