Catskill Central School District

What Catskill Central School District does

Catskill Central School District is a public K-12 school district chartered by New York State, operating under a Board of Education and led by Superintendent Junait Shah as of 2026. The district serves the Town of Catskill and surrounding areas in Greene County, New York, through three campuses: Catskill Elementary School (PreK-5), Catskill Middle School (6-8), and Catskill High School (9-12), with 101-250 staff. Its portfolio includes core academic instruction aligned with NYS Regents standards, a comprehensive athletics program (soccer, basketball, volleyball, baseball, softball, track and field, cross country, golf, bowling, wrestling, and flag football), arts and music programming, special education, mental health supports including a Yellow Ribbon teen suicide prevention team, and enrichment such as Odyssey of the Mind, FCCLA, the Business Club, STEAM Camp, Ride for Focus, and Safe Boating and Fishing. Career and technical education is delivered through a core partnership with Questar III BOCES.

Technology infrastructure is built entirely on standard K-12 platforms rather than proprietary systems: a district-wide 1:1 Chromebook program, Google Classroom as the LMS, Clever for single sign-on, SchoolTool as the student information system and parent portal, ParentSquare for family communications, Naviance for college and career readiness at CHS, Castle Learning and Edoctrina for assessment, and IncidentIQ powering the Catskill Help Desk. Online tax collection runs on Info-Tax Online. Certifications address student data privacy under FERPA, COPPA, NYS Education Law 2d, and analogous state frameworks.

As a political subdivision of New York State, the district is not a commercial enterprise. Its revenue mechanics are statutory: annual budgets are proposed by administration, adopted by the Board, and approved by district voters; the 2026-27 budget totals $51,742,991 with a 2.19 percent property tax levy increase, under the 2.29 percent NYS tax cap. Funding is sourced from local property tax levies and New York State education aid, with no tuition charged to residents and no commercial customers, sales motion, or external investment.
