What Somers Central School District does

Somers Central School District is a public K-12 school district serving approximately four schools in Westchester County, New York: Primrose Elementary School (K-4), Somers Intermediate School (grades 4-5), Somers Middle School (grades 6-8), and Somers High School (grades 9-12). The district is a New York State government entity governed by an elected Board of Education, with Dr. Adam Bronstein serving as Superintendent since July 2025. Its core academic offering is anchored by the International Baccalaureate (IB) Continuum, including the IB Diploma Programme at the high school (since 2016), the IB Middle Years Programme at the middle school (since fall 2022), and most recently MYP authorization for high school grades 9-10 (January 2025), with the Primary Years Programme under exploration for K-5. Differentiated programs include Project Lead The Way STEM curricula (PLTW Distinguished School 2024-25), a Science Research Program that places students in Regeneron WESEF, ISEF, and National STEM Festival competition, the L.I.F.E. inclusion initiative, Tusker 101/102 IB skills curriculum, and TEAM Tuskers mentoring. The district's technology stack is built on third-party edtech (Schoology LMS, Infinite Campus SIS, Classlink parent portal, ParentSquare communications, MySchoolBucks payments) and a Finalsite web platform.

The district's revenue model is a publicly funded operating budget, with the 2026-2027 budget set at $116,007,313 (a 2.23% increase over the prior year's $113,477,113) and representing the 15th consecutive tax-cap compliant budget. Revenue sources are local property taxes, New York State Foundation Aid, and federal Education Stabilization Funds. A separate $63.9 million capital construction bond was approved for facility improvements at the high school and Primrose Elementary. Supplemented by grants from the Somers Education Foundation and the Somers Science Research Foundation, the district distributes programs through physical school buildings and a central registration office, with community engagement coordinated through PTA Council, Booster Club, the Town of Somers, and a multi-channel communication strategy (ParentSquare, Tusker Tracks newsletter, Tusker Talk podcast, TuskerTube, and active social media). Enrollment is residency-based within district boundaries, and there is no tuition revenue.
