Peekskill City School District 2013-2014 Budget Forum
A community forum on the Peekskill City School District 2013-2014 budget will be held on Saturday, March 9, in the cafeteria at Peekskill Middle School, from 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. PCSD Principals and Central Office Administrators will be present at the meeting. Community members are encouraged to attend.
"The purpose of the forum is to discuss the upcoming budget with the community and to get input and ideas from our residents on how we might cut costs as we move forward in the budget process while still providing exceptional service to our students," said Peekskill City School District Superintendent, Jim Willis.
To learn more about the educational challenges the District is facing in the wake of reduced state aid and government mandates you may read the New York State School Board Association's 2013 Reform Agenda.
The Peekskill City School District's Annual Budget Vote will take place on May 21, 2013. Polls will be open from 7:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m.
If any community members have questions or concerns prior to the Budget Forum on March 9, they may contact the Superintendent's office at 914-737-3300 ext. 303.
