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.

Eric Blostein ’21 Earns Eagle Scout with Dog Park Project

Apr 21, 2021 | Columbia, District

Columbia High School senior Eric Blostein recently earned Eagle Scout, the highest rank in Boy Scouts, for his dog park project at the East Greenbush Town Park. Mr. Blostein built a fence to divide the East Greenbush Dog Park and create a safe way for smaller dogs to enter their own side of the dog park. He collected over 30,000 cans and bottles and raised $5,000 from private donations to make other improvements to the park.

Mr. Blostein, who will graduate in June and then attend college at the Rochester Institute of Technology, was recognized by Rensselaer County legislators Kelly Hoffman, Tom Grant and Rob Bayly on Friday evening at a ceremony at the East Greenbush Town Park.

Congratulations!
