| Message From the Superintendent | |
| Winter 2009-2010 | |
 By Matthew McGarrityI would like to begin by thanking all of our community members and the District Transportation Committee for their support of the bus vote on January 13. This allowed us to continue to upgrade our fleet using reserve funds, and not incurring more debt or raising taxes. As we work through the budget this spring, now more than ever, we are mindful of the financial challenges that schools, businesses, and individuals are facing. Governor Paterson’s proposed budget cuts education aid dramatically, but as the legislature works with the Governor, we will have more information later in the budget cycle. Our district committees, including facilities and finance, are working on a variety of issues. The state’s EXCEL monies have allowed us to make recent improvements in various buildings and we will continue to monitor the maintenance needs of the district. Our continuous efforts toward maintaining our facilities will lessen the need for larger, more expensive projects in the future. The continued support from the community, including donations, gifts and time, allows us to maintain the quality programs we offer. Please remain involved with the District and invested in our future and our children. Sincerely, Matt McGarrity Superintendent of Schools |
