PROCESS to Address Your Concerns Despite our best efforts, there will be a time when something in the School District doesn't work for you — a time when you question why something was done, or not done. When you find yourself in this situation, we ask that you work together with us by following the steps below in the process as established by our School Board. Step 1: Discuss the issue with the teacher or guidance counselor at school, or the appropriate person in a department or program. Step 2: Discuss the issue with the principal. If it is a school-wide concern, this becomes Step 1. Step 3: Contact the Superintendents' Office. If you are unable to resolve the concern during any of the above steps, please request the person at that level to assist you in the process of moving to the next step. Board members may ask the Superintendent to discuss citizen concerns with the appropriate staff person.

Nov. 19, 2012

The Middleburgh Central School Board will begin to look at the upcoming 2013-14 school budget during the regularly scheduled meeting on Wednesday, November 28, 2012 beginning at 6:30 PM in the MS/HS Library. Budget discussions will be held at the beginning of the agenda in an attempt to encourage interested community members to come and hear the latest information while not feeling like they need to stay for the remainder of the business meeting. We continue to be faced with a funding crisis, as do most other districts in our state. It will become increasingly difficult with each passing year to preserve programs for our students. We ask that you stay informed and get involved in advocating for our district. We hope to see you there.
