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.

New York City Bus Trip image - April 2024Columbia’s Sophomore Class is sponsoring a bus trip to New York City on Saturday, April 27, 2024, that includes the option to see “The Outsiders” at the Bernard B. Jacobs Theatre. The trip is open to students, families, staff and friends in the East Greenbush school community.

Date: Saturday, April 27, 2024

Musical Option: We are offering the opportunity to purchase tickets to see “The Outsiders” at 2 p.m. at the Bernard B. Jacobs Theatre at 242 West 45th Street. See the story that defined a generation reimagined as a groundbreaking musical! In Tulsa, Oklahoma, 1967, the hardened hearts and aching souls of Ponyboy Curtis, Johnny Cade and their chosen family of “outsiders” are in a fight for survival and a quest for purpose in a world that may never accept them. A story of the bonds that brothers share and the hopes we all hold on to, this gripping new musical reinvigorates the timeless tale of “haves and have nots,” of protecting what’s yours, and fighting for what could be. Adapted from S.E. Hinton’s seminal novel and Francis Ford Coppola’s iconic film, The Outsiders comes to Broadway following a critically acclaimed world premiere engagement. Don’t miss the musical that critics are calling: “Impressively Original. Thrilling, Courageous & Hypnotic.”
