Scarsdale Board Of Ed

What Scarsdale Board Of Ed does

Scarsdale Public Schools, formally the Scarsdale Union Free School District, is one of the oldest public school districts in the United States, founded in 1784 under the governance of an elected Board of Education. It operates seven schools serving K-12 students in Scarsdale, Westchester County, NY: five elementary schools (Edgewood, Fox Meadow, Greenacres, Heathcote, Quaker Ridge), Scarsdale Middle School, and Scarsdale High School. The district's mission ("Learning, Living, Leading") and "Non Sibi" motto reflect its community-oriented values. It provides comprehensive academic, athletic, arts, special education, counseling, transportation, and food services to district resident families.

The district's technology infrastructure is standard K-12 administrative tooling rather than proprietary platform development. Core systems include Infinite Campus for student information, ParentSquare for district-wide communications and notifications, Google Workspace and Microsoft 365 with SSO for staff and parents, Zoom for board meetings, BoardDocs for governance document management, Frontline Education for professional development tracking, Nutrislice for food services menus, Applitrack for hiring, SurveyMonkey for feedback collection, Vimeo for board meeting video (SPS-TV), and Laserfiche for forms and document management. The district also runs the Scarsdale Teachers Institute (STI), a professional development program that serves both Scarsdale and Edgemont faculty as well as community residents.

As a New York State public school district, Scarsdale is a government entity with no commercial revenue model. Funding derives from local property taxes and state aid, with the $197,098,146 2026-27 operating budget and $101,707,875 capital bond both approved by community vote on May 19, 2026 (77.2% and 71.6% approval respectively). Annual budgets and bond measures are voter-approved; there is no tuition, pricing model, or traditional go-to-market motion. The district's "customers" are Scarsdale resident families with school-age children, and engagement is community-led through PTAs, the Parent Teacher Council, Maroon and White boosters, and platforms like ParentSquare. Strategic leadership is provided by Superintendent Dr. Drew Patrick (contracted 2026-2031) and Board President Suzie Hahn for the 2026-27 school year.
