Let’s GET OUT THE VOTE for all our Kids and our Community!
School Budget & Proposition Info HERE. (Saratoga Springs Central School District)
Proposition Two: This would authorize the school district to spend an estimated $1,165,000 to purchase six 66-passenger school buses, three 30-passenger buses, two 24-passenger buses, and one service vehicle. State aid would reimburse the district for approximately 40 percent of the cost. These purchases are part of the district’s plan to replace buses near the end of their useful lives to reduce maintenance costs and help ensure a safe fleet of vehicles.
Board of Education Candidate Info HERE. (League of Women Voters)
Board of Education Election: In addition to the budget vote, district residents will elect three candidates to the Board of Education for three-year terms. The names of the candidates, in the order that they will appear on the ballot are: Christina Kraszewski, *Casey Putnam, *John Ellis, Amanda Ellithorpe, and Connie Woytowich.
*Please take note: John Ellis and Casey Putnam are the only 2 candidates who support the SSCSD’s proposed Diversity, Equity, Inclusion Policy & Regulation, which will come before the Board on Wednesday, 5/19/21. The goal of the SSCD’s 39-member Equity and Diversity Committee is to engage in conversation and develop “action plans to recommend policies and implement practices designed to promote diversity, facilitate growth in becoming a culturally competent school community, and improve access, opportunity, and outcomes for all students.”
