Webutuck Central School District

What Webutuck Central School District does

Webutuck Central School District is a public K-12 school district located in Amenia, New York, serving seven communities (Amenia, Northeast, Ancram, Washington, Dover, Stanford, and Millerton) in the Harlem Valley region of Dutchess County. Founded in 1953 and currently staffed by approximately 193 personnel, the district operates three schools — Webutuck Elementary School (Pre-K through grade 5), Eugene Brooks Intermediate School (grades 6–8), and Webutuck High School (grades 9–12) — offering a full Pre-K-12 instructional program that includes college-preparatory coursework, Advanced Placement offerings, dual-enrollment college-credit courses with SUNY Dutchess Community College, and Career and Technical Education pathways delivered through Dutchess BOCES-CTI. Specialized programs include a district-wide 1:1 Chromebook initiative, an afterschool Makerspace program at the high school library media center, an on-site Open Door school-based health clinic, a District Garden program, and a no-cut athletics program that has produced NYSPHSAA Scholar-Athlete Team Awards.

The district's technology stack is composed entirely of third-party platforms: ClassLink Launchpad for single sign-on, SchoolTool for student information and the parent/student portal, i-Ready for personalized adaptive learning diagnostics, ParentSquare for family communication, Google Workspace for instruction, AESOP for substitute scheduling, Castle Learning for online practice, KACE for work-order ticketing, and Anonymous Alerts for safety reporting. The public-facing site is hosted on Finalsite, and the district operates under a Technology Plan (2022-25) and a Smart Schools Investment Plan (2025-2026).

As a government entity organized under New York State Education Law, the district is funded through local property taxes, state education aid, and federal grants — no tuition is charged to residents, and student enrollment is determined by geographic residency within district boundaries. The district is governed by a locally elected Board of Education; the Superintendent of Schools (Ray Castellani) serves as chief executive. A $12.56 million debt-neutral capital improvement project was approved by voters in December 2022. There is no parent company, private equity, venture capital, or publicly traded ownership; the entity is a sole-source public provider of K-12 education within its geographic catchment.
