About The Board

Your Board of Education is composed of seven residents of the District who have been elected by the qualified voters of District #24. The Board is an arm of the State government. The members are charged by law to set proper standards of education for the community and to carry out the mandates of the New York State Education Department. They serve without remuneration. 

The Board of Education holds its regular monthly business meeting on the fourth Wednesday of the month except as noted on the calendar. In addition, special meetings may be held. All regular meetings start at 7:30 P.M., and are held at the William L. Buck School.

The quality of education in a community depends to a great extent on the interest and concern of the residents. You are urged to attend these meetings as one means of keeping informed about school district matters. Time is provided at the conclusion of every meeting's agenda for those residents in attendance, to express views or ask questions.
