Harpursville Central School District

What Harpursville Central School District does

Harpursville Central School District is a public K-12 school district operating under the oversight of the New York State Education Department, serving students in the Harpursville, New York area of Broome County. The district operates two facilities: W. A. Olmsted Elementary (Pre-K through Grade 6) and Harpursville Jr. Sr. High School (Grades 7-12), with combined staffing in the 251-500 range. It is governed by an elected Board of Education and led by Superintendent Heath Georgia, with operational leadership spanning athletics, counseling, health, music, library, transportation, and cafeteria services.

The district's core offering is free public education from Pre-K through Grade 12, supplemented by support services such as special education, school counseling at both grade bands, health services, transportation, and a cafeteria program operated through Broome-Tioga BOCES Food Services (Rock on Cafe) with online payments via EZ SchoolPay. Recent programmatic additions include an FAA Part 107 commercial drone pilot certification course at the high school under instructor Mr. Strantz, representing a career and technical education pathway. The district also runs a Community Schools program and a summer meals program for children and teens.

The underlying technology stack is composed of standard K-12 administrative platforms rather than proprietary systems: ParentSquare Smart Sites CMS powers the district website and family communications, with single sign-on via Google and Microsoft 365; the NYSED TEACH system manages educator certification; ScheduleGalaxy handles athletic scheduling; and Okta is referenced for authentication. The business model is non-commercial: the district is funded through local property tax levies, New York state aid, and voter-approved budgets, with the 2026-2027 school budget and transportation purchases recently approved by community voters. There are no proprietary products, patents, or AI/ML capabilities disclosed.
