Pine Bush Central School District 2010-2011 Budget - Why You Should Care

Pine Bush Central School District's 2010-2011 budget is being formulated and reviewed during the next few months.  Last night there was a community input forum at the Pine Bush High School. With cuts that the State of New York is proposing and the drop in revenues from other sources, the School Board and Superintendent will be looking at ways to save money.

Pine Bush High School Had A well Attended Forum Last Night


The Pine Bush Central School District is one of those districts that home buyers want to move to.  They offer a good well rounded curriculum and a huge variety of enrichment programs both in school and extra curricular.  Take some time to browse the school district website and review the most recent NYS school report card to learn more about Pine Bush.
 
I often hear people who feel overburdened with taxes in general say that they don't have children in the schools so why should they care about or approve the budget when it is voted on.  It is important to all community residents to maintain the excellence of the school district as it does affect the saleability and value of your property.  If the school's become less desirable to potential buyers you will loose some of the value of your property.  

There are several more community input forums scheduled in the coming months.  Be sure to get out to one and hear the presentations.  Your voice can be heard there if you have input.  Your questions can be addressed.

It's nicely illustrated in this post how the entire community HAS to work together!  Schools affect property values, home owners affect schools, and the cycle continues!  Great local post to get the info out about the upcoming forums!

Absolutely Leesa.  We can't ignore the schools even if we don't have kids that attend.  Thanks for the comment

Great way to keep the district informed on what is one of the major talked about issues around Town.  They will get knowledge on what is being done in the schools.  Keep up the posts.
