THE WPSBA VIRTUAL ANNUAL MEETING - FOLLOWED BY THE MAY 28TH TOWN CALL
THIS YEAR, WE'RE HOLDING OUR annual budget/slate vote via phone call, instead of our regular end of year dinner. Our by-laws require a quorum of districts vote "in person" and so we are asking each board to have a representative deliver your board's vote at the beginning of our May 28th Town Call at noon. You are not obligated to remain on the call once the vote has been taken, so please coordinate with your district clerk (who has all the info you need) to ensure someone from your BOE is there to represent your district.
LOOK WITHIN FOR WPSBA DISTRICT STATS
DISTRICT DATA, AS WELL AS ORIGINAL NARRATIVES make up the bulk of this annual publication that provides an inside look at the public school districts of Westchester and Putnam Counties. A giant thank you to the district clerks and administrative staff for helping compile the info in this book. For now, you can see the 2020 edition of Facts & Figure$ online, and we are still working on getting hard copies made and sent to all the districts.
IT WOULD BE NICE TO HAVE SOME ANSWERS ABOUT SUMMER SCHOOL
MANY QUESTIONS ABOUT SUMMER SCHOOL ARE STILL UP IN THE AIR. In districts across the country, decisions still need to be made about whether or not to hold summer school, should it be virtual or in-person, and who should programs focus on. There is even more uncertainty about whether districts will get extra money to help pay for expanded summer school.
CENSUS 2020 FACT
The U.S. Census Bureau is bound by law to protect your answers and keep them strictly confidential. The law ensures that your private information is never published and that your answers cannot be used against you by any government agency or court.

It's not too late to respond to the 2020 Census
