What Troy City School District does

Troy City School District is a public K-12 school district serving approximately 3,500 students across eight school buildings in Troy, New York, covering 10.7 square miles including portions of the town of Brunswick. The district delivers educational programs from pre-kindergarten (3- and 4-year-old programs) through grade 12, operating School 2, School 14, School 16, School 18, Carroll Hill School, Troy Middle School, Troy High School, and Troy Community School. Core academic instruction is aligned to New York State Standards and supplemented by P-Tech and engineering pathways, college-level coursework through a Hudson Valley Community College dual-enrollment partnership, Seal of Biliteracy recognition, performing and visual arts, athletics (including newly launched Unified Sports), after-school and summer programs, and comprehensive special education services. Wraparound community-school supports include a food pantry, PBIS, and restorative practices, delivered in coordination with the Troy Family YMCA and the Commission on Economic Opportunity. Technology infrastructure includes Smartboards, document cameras, projectors, and interactive laptop/iPad carts in every classroom, funded in part through the Smart Schools Bond Act; the district runs a centralized communications stack (ParentSquare, Clever SSO, Auth0) and a transportation platform (Student Transportation of America, Stopfinder, BusPatrol).

The district is funded through three primary revenue streams: local property tax levy, New York State aid, and federal grants. The 2026-2027 operating budget is $146,348,609, approved by voters on May 19, 2026 by a margin of 639-72 (89.87%), with a 0% tax levy increase marking the fifth time in six years the levy has been held flat. Capital projects are supported by a 98% NY State building aid ratio, and the May 2026 referendum also created a new capital reserve fund enabling up to $300 million in building modernization over ten years. Governance is provided by an elected Board of Education (currently presided over by Ebony Pompey-Conway) and Superintendent of Schools John Carmello, with Deputy Superintendent Roy Stiles and Assistant Superintendent for Business Adam Hotaling overseeing operations.
