Public hearing set for May 28 on proposed budget

Schoharie CSD has scheduled a Board of Education / Public Hearing meeting on May 28, 2020, at 7 p.m. to be held remotely via Webex.

The meeting is being held remotely to be in compliance with New York on Pause social distancing and will also meet the standards of Gov. Cuomo’s most executive order pertaining to the Open Meetings Law.  The public will be able to follow the proceedings through audio by accessing Webex via a computer, tablet or phone. In addition, a recording of the meetings will be transcribed and made available to the public at a later time, along with the minutes from the meeting.

 Any executive session periods of the meeting will not be accessible through Webex, just as those periods would be closed to the public during a regular school board meeting. Although New York State Law does not require that a school board hold a public comment period, even when meetings are held as normal, Schoharie CSD is committed to transparency and exceeding what is legally required in order to ensure your concerns are heard. Please email your budget comments to PublicComments@schoharieschools.org.

Comments received via this email address will be addressed during the Public Hearing portion of the meeting. The public will be able to follow the proceedings through audio by accessing Webex. It is recommended that those who wish to listen through a computer or tablet download the Webex app prior to the meeting. No download is necessary to listen to the meeting by phone.
