Rensselaer City School District to cut sports, other programs (East Greenbush: designs, budget)

[ckhthankgod]

"Since the budget didn’t pass, the Rensselaer City School District is making drastic cuts— one of them being athletic programs.

“For us to have sports, it would have to be community funded,” explained Superintendent Joseph Kardash.

Unless money is donated, this will be the second year in a row Rensselaer will not have a football team."

I'm curious if the district has thought about combining with another school for some sports and other programs. As a district, it would seem like the only real possibility for consolidating with another school district is East Greenbush or maybe with say Wynantskill and North Greenbush.

Not sure if any one cares, but I might be able to help with some great fund raisers?

That would be great! I believe last year, they weren’t able to field a Football team. So, I’m sure that they would appreciate any help.

Not to derail the thread but has anyone heard about the Johnstown school budget?

I believe they had a similar situation to Rensselaer last year. This may be an example of why there may need to be more school district consolidation or consider county SD’s.

We have 1 project that we have done for 3 schools in NY and each made over $3,000.00 profit. This project depending on what your city, town, school district is like, you can make A LOT more, and it's part of another product, that you can do the same to, which leads to another product where you can do the same.

One of the schools is working on the second project, using the SAME product. This is because they ended up with more businesses getting involved than they could have the first time around. Now YES, things will be different now with the current issues and all, but it looks like it does have 1 really strong part to it, and that is, it's a GREAT way for folks to say "We're still here, please support us".

I'd be happy to email a flyer should you want them or drop me your school address and we'll send you samples actual samples of some of these these products, from school and businesses that did them.
