A School District Optimization Study is a comprehensive analysis conducted to help a school district operate more efficiently, effectively, and sustainably, both educationally and financially. The Wynantskill UFSD initiated this 6-month study in January 2025 with the support of veteran school leaders, Mr. Robert Breidenstein and Dr. Brian Schmidt from The Schmitt Leadership Group, LLC. This study will review the continuum of education services provided by the district, including enrollment and educational program alignment, human resource allocations, organizational efficiency, facility utilization, student experiences, community experiences, transportation logistics, operations management, resource deployment, fiscal stewardship, and long-term sustainability. The primary purpose of this optimization study is to conduct a thorough assessment of the views and insights from various stakeholders, including the administration, faculty, staff, students, family members and community members. By gathering data and reviewing all stakeholder perspectives, the district will gain a comprehensive understanding of its current state in order to inform and position itself, creating the best future for the Wynantskill UFSD.
