Dear Wynantskill Community,
We hope this letter finds you well. We are writing to inform you about an important initiative that began last week within the Wynantskill Union Free School District. As part of our ongoing commitment to providing an exceptional educational experience for our students, we’re launching an Optimization Study that aims to evaluate and enhance the opportunities currently offered within our school district. This study will position our district to create the best future for the Wynantskill community. Mr. Breidenstein has already been in-district, engaging students and faculty in these important conversations.
The primary purpose of this Optimization Study is to conduct a thorough assessment of the views and insights from various key stakeholders, including parents, guardians, faculty and staff, students, Board of Education members, administration, and members of the community. By doing so, we aim to gain a comprehensive understanding of the current state of our district and to envision and reimagine its future together. This assessment will be conducted by veteran school leaders Mr. Robert Breidenstein and Dr. Brian Schmidt from The Schmitt Leadership Group, LLC.
Mr. Breidenstein will facilitate two opportunities for community conversations in order to provide an overview of the process and purpose of the study and, most importantly, to allow the Wynantskill community an opportunity to share their experiences, opinions, and concerns.
These conversations that welcome our community members, and families (which include students if they so choose) are scheduled to be held on: Tuesday, March 18th at 5:00 PM and again at 6:00 PM in GD’s gymnasium.
Additional opportunities for community input will occur throughout this process, which will also include a survey to each family. We look forward to meeting with you to discuss the Wynantskill UFSD.
Sincerely,
Dr. Mary Yodis and the Wynantskill UFSD Board of Education
