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.

Apply to SUNY Colleges for Free – October 16-29

Oct 18, 2023 | Columbia, District

High school students can apply to up to five SUNY schools with no application fee from now through Sunday, October 29. The usual $50 application fee for each college is being waived.

Reminders from the Columbia Guidance Department:

  • While this is a great opportunity for students and families, the college process has to be purposeful. Why do you want to apply to that specific SUNY school? DO YOUR RESEARCH!
  • Do not rush the process! It is far better to apply to college with an application and essay that you are confident in versus rushing to get it completed. There are other opportunities for fee waivers – see your counselor.
  • The Guidance Office has its own process students must follow to apply for college as well. Please refer to the junior packet you received during your junior conference for details.

If you have any questions, please contact your school counselor.
