From the Superintendent

Dear North Rockland Community,

 

Thank you for your support of our school budget and once again proving that our children’s education comes first in North Rockland. The children are the big winners in this process. Our Transformation will build richer academic environments, extended and rigorous learning opportunities and enrichment and extracurricular activities to meet the needs of all learners while keeping costs contained for our community.

 

The approval of our budget was a true North Rockland effort! On behalf of our Board of Education I would like to thank our PTA Council, our individual school PTA members, our bargaining groups: CSEA, NRTA, and NRAA who worked very hard to get our budget message out and understood by our community. I would also like to thank my administrative team who has been instrumental in building the transformation plan while responding to the fiscal needs of the community.

 

Congratulations to Elliot Gillies and Mary Romano who return for another term on the Board!

 

Ileana Eckert

Superintendent

From the Board President

At the last BOE meeting, the Board approved a CHANGE in the current calendar.  Please note that this is in response to NYS once again changing the testing calendar.  Children will now be IN SCHOOL on APRIL 20th an OFF on APRIL 30th.  Mrs. Eckert will be making a Connect Ed phone call to remind everyone as the time nears.  Thank you and we apologize for the inconvenience.  

At the last Committee of the Whole Workshop session I was asked about mandates. Here is a link to a partial list of mandates, identified as The most discussed by administrators: http://www.p12.nysed.gov/fmis/mandaterelief/documents/mandates.xls There are 151, on this list, of the 200+ mandates that districts must deal with. We must be relieved of some of this burden or we will all be choked by it. We need mandate relief and we need it NOW!

President, Board of Education
