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 Students Learn About Post-WWII Growth from County Historian

Jun 22, 2023 | District, Goff

Rensselaer County Historian Kathy Sheehan speaking with Goff Social Studies students.

Rensselaer County Historian Kathy Sheehan speaking with Goff Social Studies students about local history.

Rensselaer County Historian Kathy Sheehan visited Howard L. Goff Middle School last week to speak to individual 8th grade Social Studies classes about local history. She brought in a variety of primary sources that focus on the suburban expansion of East Greenbush following the end of World War II.

The students examined the growth of East Greenbush and Rensselaer County in relation to interstate highways, they analyzed maps from the 1950s and 1960s, and viewed old photographs.

Students were able to understand the importance of the automobile on suburban growth and how it led to expansion in their local community.
