Weedsport Central School District

What Weedsport Central School District does

Weedsport Central School District is a public K-12 school district located in Weedsport, New York (Cayuga County), serving approximately 1,000 students across two campuses: an Elementary School (K-5) and a Jr.-Sr. High School (6-12), both situated at 2821 East Brutus Street. The district operates under New York State Education Department oversight and is governed by an elected Board of Education, with funding derived primarily from local property taxes, state aid, and federal allocations rather than tuition or commercial revenue. The leadership team includes Superintendent Gregory M. Stone (tenure began January 2024), Elementary Principal Nicole Kulikowski, Jr.-Sr. High School Principal Sherri Monell, and Assistant Superintendent of Instruction Melinda Ervay.

The district's core academic and operational technology stack consists of third-party EdTech platforms: Agilix Buzz (BUZZ) learning management system for content delivery, SchoolTool as the student information system, ClassLink LaunchPad for single sign-on, and ParentSquare's SmartSites CMS powering the district website and family communication. There is no proprietary technology development; the district is a technology consumer rather than producer. Programs span core academics, Regents preparation, special education services for ages 3-21, career and technical education (Business, FACS), athletics, performing arts, and extracurriculars including First Lego League and Envirothon. The district launched its first formal Strategic Plan in Fall 2025 after over a year of stakeholder development.

Recent measurable outcomes place Weedsport at the top of regional academic rankings: 96% proficiency on ELA Regents (#1 among 69 schools in six-county Central New York, 2024-25), 100% proficiency on Algebra II Regents (one of 87 of 591 NY districts to achieve this in 2023-24), and 99% proficiency on Global History Regents (highest in six-county CNY region, tied for 10th in NYS). Chronic absenteeism stands at 12.7%, the lowest in Cayuga County. Athletic programs have produced championship-level results across football, volleyball, golf, and field hockey, with all five fall varsity teams earning Scholar Athlete status. The district transitioned its mascot from Warriors to Wolverines following a state mandate and is liquidating vintage memorabilia through Auctions International.
