Board of Education

The five elected members of the Board of Education work with the administration, faculty, parents, students and local residents to create a healthy learning environment within our schools.

Board Meetings

Board meetings are generally held at 7:00 p.m. on the second Thursday of each month in the conference room at Canajoharie High School. For further information call 673-6302.

 

Addressing the Board of Education

The Board of Education recognizes its responsibility to hear public comment and therefore encourages the public to attend board meetings. Visitors have the opportunity to address the Board of Education during the "public comment" portion of each meeting.

Individuals wishing to address the board may:

Notify the District Clerk prior to the start of the meeting at 7:00 p.m. to request the floor; or
Step forward when the board president asks if anyone is interested in speaking before the board; or If you know well in advance that you would like to address the board, you may contact the district clerk at 673-6302 to be included on the agenda.

Please note: Comments should not exceed five minutes and should directly relate to school matters.

Members of the public are also welcome to send questions, comments and concerns to the Canajoharie Central School District Board of Education and its individual board members at:

New York State School Boards Association

New York State School Boards Association - The New York State School Boards Association (NYSSBA) serves as the statewide voice of more than 700 boards of education. The collective influence of some 5,000 school board members, who constitute half the elected officials in the state, enables the Association to work toward the benefit of the elementary and secondary public school system in New York State. School board members are the educational leaders of their communities; they determine policies that govern the operation of their local public school system.

The Association provides current information and advice on matters affecting school boards and cooperates with other educational and related organizations in promoting excellence in education. Consistent with our dedication to children, learning and the community, the Association provides advocacy information, leadership development and custom services to public school boards.
