As part of developing the 2026–2027 budget, the district carefully reviewed all areas of spending to identify opportunities to reduce costs while continuing to support student learning and daily operations.

Through this process, we were able to make targeted reductions in several areas, including:
• Office and administrative costs
• Buildings and grounds contractual services
• BOCES teaching expenses
• School vehicle purchases
• Office supplies and equipment

These adjustments help us maintain a fiscally responsible budget while preserving the programs and services that matter most to our students and families.

Mrs. Wilson's HS JCC English 1510 classes visited the National Comedy Center. The focus of English 1510 is recursive writing, and the students learned that comedy writing is all about writing, revising, writing, revising, etc., and that is exactly what we have been doing all year in class

This week, we had the privilege of celebrating two essential teams who make a difference in our students’ lives every single day.

On Tuesday, we recognized our incredible school bus drivers for their commitment to safely transporting our students to and from school. Their care, reliability, and dedication help set the tone for a successful day.

Today, we proudly celebrate our outstanding food service team, whose hard work ensures our students are nourished, supported, and ready to learn each day.

Thank you to both of these amazing groups for all that you do to support our school community! We are truly grateful!
