As our after school and recess activities continue to blossom, transportation has increased services to support our students needs. These programs include: 21st Century, Empire, Chime, Acting Academy, Theatre Tech, Steam (during recess weeks), and Athletics. We do our best to ensure our students receive safe, efficient and timely transportation to these activities. 

In addition, there is a new program that we are now working to support with transportation that will introduce our students to the food service industry. 

More to come!   We are excited to provide these transportation services for our students. 

Registration for September 2023 enrollment is starting March 1st.

Quiet time for grants right now....

PLEASE NOTE:  Any donations that come in to a staff member, or to the district for a program, must be approved through Business Office and then the Board of Education which will allow the Business Office to increase the appropriate budget and must be spent within the year the donation has been received.

REMINDER - ALL schools have designated dollars within the Consolidated Application for Title Funding that is open and available.  Each building Principal has received an email from OPA about this funding availability - in supplies and might be a best source for Participatory Budget (for CSI Schools) items for 22-23.

Preparation for 23-24 Consolidated Application for Title Funding will begin in March - Principals look for emails to coordinate stakeholder meetings that provide information on what Title Funding is and how the district utilizes the funding.  Yay!!

Please contact Tracy Angelini at angelinit@schenectady.k12.ny.us if you have any questions.

REMINDER - Each school year, all Comprehensive Support and Improvement (CSI) schools must implement a Participatory Budgeting process or select from an approved list of alternatives to Participatory Budgeting designed to increase student and family participation in decision making.

In order to meet the NYSED Participatory Budgeting requirements for identified schools, the district has mapped out the following guideline for compliance. (If you are able to complete your work ahead of this schedule that is fine - as some buildings have already shared their plans :) 

Timeline for 2021-2022 Participatory Budgeting

1.       By January 31, 2023, all PB teams will be identified and the process has begun.
