On Tuesday, May 19, our community will be asked to participate in the annual School Budget Vote and Board Election. CCSD's 2026-27 Proposed Budget responsibly balances the educational needs of our students with the financial realities of our taxpayers. If approved, the 2026-27 Proposed Budget (Proposition 1) in the amount of $271,507,575 would result in a 2.55% tax levy increase — staying within the state-mandated limit.

STEAMfest 2026 filled Clarkstown High School South with creativity, competition and a lot of future-ready thinking. Hallways turned into design labs, the gym became an arcade and students took the lead — guiding activities, sharing projects and showing younger students what’s possible with next level learning.

On Thursday, May 7, 2026, the Board of Education (BOE) of the Clarkstown Central School District celebrated 67 members of the school community who have earned tenure.
The Clarkstown Central School District is where students become well-rounded, critical thinkers who are able to communicate effectively and become responsible, ethical, contributing members of a global society. As life-long learners, students will be able to use their respective talents and skills to collaborate, innovate and positively change their community and the world.
