What Peekskill City School District does

Peekskill City School District is a public K-12 school district serving approximately 4,600 students (3,800 general education and 800 special education, Pre-K through age 21) across six schools in Peekskill, Westchester County, New York. Organized under the Princeton Plan, the district operates Uriah Hill (Pre-K), Woodside (K-1), Oakside (2-3), Hillcrest (4-5), Peekskill Middle School (6-8), and Peekskill High School (9-12), supported by a central administration at 1031 Elm Street and a satellite office at 400 South Division Street housing the Lisa Rolleri Parent Center, Transportation Department, and Registration Office. Core instructional offerings include a Dual Language program (English/Spanish, One-Way and Two-Way models), an integrated STEAM curriculum with a dedicated Innovation Center at the high school, and early college pathways (P-Tech and Smart Scholars) delivering tuition-free Associate Degrees and 24-60 college credits through Westchester Community College.

The district's technology stack is composed entirely of third-party platforms rather than proprietary systems: ParentSquare for family communication, Infinite Campus for the Parent Portal (attendance, grades, report cards), Clever Portal for instructional single sign-on, MySchoolBucks for meal payments (with a $2.49 per-transaction convenience fee), Nutrislice for menu display, and Google Apps for Education. Operational systems include First Student for transportation management and Attendance Works for attendance monitoring. Curriculum frameworks such as CASEL (SEL), Zones of Regulation, and PBIS/RTI provide the pedagogical backbone. Special Services is staffed by 6 social workers, 10 school counselors, and 11 psychologists serving the 2025-2026 school year.

The district is a government entity funded through local property taxes, New York State education aid, and federal funding, with governance provided by a seven-member elected Board of Education led by President Jillian Villon. There is no commercial revenue model — core K-12 education is free for district residents — with only ancillary fee streams from before/after school care (Healthy Kids Program) and meal payment convenience fees. The district maintains a network of 70+ community partners (WJCS, Andrus, Feeding Westchester, Hope's Door, Sun River Health, etc.) delivering on-site mental health, food security, and family support services under the 'Peekskill Promise' strategic vision. Superintendent Dr. David Mauricio, who led the district since 2018, announced retirement effective December 31, 2026, triggering an active Superintendent Search 2026.
