2022-23 School Climate Survey As part of the School Climate Transformation Grant, we are asking you to please take a few minutes to complete the following survey. All responses are anonymous and no email addresses will be collected upon submission. The responses from the survey will help us plan and use grant funding in the best way to support the needs of our district. We will be doing this yearly throughout the remainder of the grant to gain insight on the programs we are implementing and the impact they are having on the climate of our school. Thank you for your time and help with gathering this important information. https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1GQ-_cpXFbvKUotvud9j3X0KCDBP7Aa5HOovv7zTmciI/viewform?edit_requested=true

Downsville Central School will be taking a pause in moving forward with the sports merger with Delaware Academy. For now, we would like to focus on finishing out the spring sports season and celebrating our athletes at the June 6th athletic banquet. If you haven’t sent an RSVP for the banquet, please do so as soon as possible. The public session on the athletic merger that was scheduled for Monday, May 8th has been rescheduled to Monday, June 12th at 6 pm. Thus, an athletic merger will not appear on the May 26th BOE agenda as an action item. The focus on the June 12th meeting will be to identify opportunities for our student-athletes for both the immediate future as well as the long-term. We encourage all of our student-athletes to attend.
