School Budget Vote and Board Election - May 21

The East Greenbush CSD has proposed a school budget for 2024-25 that maintains all programs and services with a 0.55% tax levy increase, which is within the NYS Property Tax Cap. Residents will also vote on a $116 million capital project that would improve school facilities and grounds across the district with no impact to local taxpayers, the replacement of eight school buses, which if approved by voters, will be fully paid for by the Bus Purchase Reserve Fund, and elect three individuals to the Board of Education.

Goff Employee Tests Positive for COVID-19, No Others Quarantined

Dec 8, 2020 | District, Goff

The East Greenbush Central School District was informed today that a Howard L. Goff Middle School employee has tested positive for COVID-19. The employee was last in school on Wednesday, December 2, which was a Live Virtual Wednesday with students learning from home. Due to the timeline of when the employee was last in contact with students and staff and when they became infectious, there was no exposure at the school that would require contact tracing. The district concluded this with the direction of Albany and Rensselaer County Health Departments.

There will be no impact on the school schedule related to this confirmed case of COVID-19.

As the number of cases of COVID-19 increases in our country and New York State, the district would like to remind everyone to maintain the strong habits we are developing as a school community:

  • Avoid large and small group gatherings such as parties or unstructured situations which bring people from different households into contact with each other.
  • Wear masks at all times when out in public, particularly when you cannot socially distance or when participating in such activities as club sports.
  • Wash hands with soap and water frequently and thoroughly. Use hand sanitizer when soap and water is not accessible.
  • Monitor for COVID-19 symptoms and in the event someone is sick, stay at home and contact your primary care provider.

Those with questions are advised to call the county health department directly at 518-270-2655 or contact the district’s COVID-19 Coordinator at Columbia High School at 518-207-2180.
