Figure 1.-- We have found a school named the Union Free School. We have since learned that a union free school was a school in a union free school district, a feature of the New York public school system. The image we have found does not identify where in New York it was, but does indicate Dustric 2. The photograph looks to have neen taken in the late-1930s.

We have found a school named the Union Free School. We have since learned that a union free school was a school in a union free school district, a feature of the New York public school system. It has nothing to do with trade union. A common school district in New York was a school district created by legislation authorized to open elementary (primary) schools (1812). At the time, they did not have the authority to operate a high school. A union free school district is a school district that was formed from one or more common school districts to operate a high school program which common school districts were initially not authorized to do. The first union free ditrict was authorized (1853). Not all union free school districts operate a secondary programs, and some of these schools have been established to operate specified childcare institutions. The image we have found does not identify where in New York it was, but does indicate Dustric 2. The photograph looks to have been takn in the late-1930s.
