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.

Best Wishes to Our 2022-23 Retirees

Jun 9, 2023 | Athletics, Bell Top, Columbia, District, Food Services, Genet, Goff, Green Meadow, Red Mill, Sutherland

2023 RetireesNearly 40 staff members who are retiring from the East Greenbush Central School District this year were recognized for their service at Wednesday’s public Board of Education meeting in the Columbia High School auditorium.

The retirees represent all areas of the school district – teachers, teaching assistants, administrators, bus drivers, custodians, secretaries and other vital support personnel – and all of them have had a positive impact on students over the years.

“We are grateful for all of the contributions of our employees who are retiring,” said Superintendent Jeff Simons. “Each individual has made a lasting difference for our students.”

“This is a bittersweet moment for the district,” he continued. “We are losing a great deal of experience and dedication but we wish them an enjoyable and fulfilling retirement.”

Congratulations and best wishes!
