The Friday Five - June 12, 2026

State law requires a 30 day public comment period prior to adoption of our annual District Safety Plan in order to allow the community to review the plan and provide feedback. The comment period was offiicially opened at Monday's BOE meeting, and will continue until July 12. A public hearing on the Safety Plan will take place during the July 15 Board Meeting. The public is encouraged to review the plan and send any comments to erauschenbach@scarsdaleschools.org and/or the Board of Education.

A huge congratulations to Jack Reis, newly crowned NYS SIngles Tennis Champion!
