Katonah Lewisboro School District

What Katonah Lewisboro School District does

Katonah-Lewisboro School District (KLSD) is a public K-12 school district organized under New York State Education Law as a Union Free School District, serving the communities of Katonah and Lewisboro in Westchester County, New York. The district operates five schools: John Jay High School (grades 9-12), John Jay Middle School (grades 6-8), and three elementary schools — Increase Miller Elementary, Katonah Elementary, and Meadow Pond Elementary (grades K-5 each). Founded in 1960 and governed by an elected Board of Education under Superintendent Dr. Ray Blanch, KLSD employs between 501 and 1,000 staff across instructional, operational, and administrative functions, with personnel costs accounting for 81–83% of the operating budget.

KLSD's operating model is tax-funded rather than revenue-generating: the 2026-27 voter-approved operating budget stands at $142,951,325, financed through local property taxes and New York State aid. The district's product surface includes K-12 academic instruction, special education, English as a New Language (ENL), Universal Pre-K for eligible four-year-olds, athletics, food services, health services, and mental-health support via the Northwell partnership. Underlying technology infrastructure centers on a third-party SaaS stack: Schoology for learning management, Infinite Campus for student information, Deledao for AI-powered web filtering, Frontline for HR/absence management, Panopto for video, Nutrislice for meal menus, and Visitor Aware for dismissal management, with technology support delivered through the Lower Hudson Regional Information Center (LHRIC).

KLSD is currently executing a $49.5 million voter-approved capital bond across all five schools — covering geothermal heating at Katonah Elementary, security vestibules, classroom additions, auditorium renovation, and electric school bus acquisition — and is implementing its "Vision 2030" strategic plan focused on Knowledge & Skills, Sustainability, Learner-Centered Leadership, Belonging, Well-Being, and Collaborative Educators, including a district-wide transition from RTI to the MTSS-I instructional-support framework.
