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.

Halloween Safety Tips

Costumes

  • Wear light colored or reflective clothing
  • Carry glowsticks or flashlights to be more visible at night
  • Costumes should be loose fitting so warm clothing can be worn underneath, if needed
  • If wearing a mask, make sure you can see out of it. You can also rest it on top of your head or carry it while walking to houses and then put it on when you reach the front door.

Trick or Treating

  • Trick or Treat with a group that includes adults and stay in familiar areas
  • Eat something before going Trick or Treating
  • Only stop at houses that have their lights on
  • Walk on sidewalks, not in the street. If there are no sidewalks, walk on the left side of the street so you can see oncoming traffic.
  • Walk, do not run, from house to house
  • DO NOT enter homes or apartments unless you know the person and you are accompanied by your parent/guardian
  • Never enter a stranger’s home

Candy 

  • Have your parent/guardian check your candy at home before eating any of it
  • Do not eat anything that is already opened or not packaged
