Johnsburg Central School District

What Johnsburg Central School District does

Johnsburg Central School District is a public PreK-12 school district organized under New York State Education Law, operating from a single campus at 165 Main Street in the village of North Creek, Warren County, New York. The district serves approximately 2,500 residents across seven hamlets spanning roughly 200 square miles in the northeast corner of Warren County, providing comprehensive core academic instruction with an emphasis on basic skill development, supplemented by special education services, Career and Technical Education accessed through the WSWHE BOCES partnership, athletics, library services, health office and Wellness Center support, and guidance/college preparation services. Total staff is approximately 80-100+ including 31 faculty, teaching assistants, aides, student services personnel, facilities staff, and administration; leadership is headed by Superintendent Cathy A. Kennedy with an elected seven-member Board of Education (President Rachel DeGroat) providing governance.

The district's technology stack is built on standard K-12 platforms rather than proprietary systems: SchoolTool serves as the student information system, ParentSquare as the family communication platform, Google Classroom, IXL, EnVision Math, Renaissance Star/AR, and I-Ready Connect as instructional tools, and a broad set of digital library resources (Sora, BrainPOP, Britannica School, Gale, EBSCO, Tumble Books, PBS LearningMedia, Swank K-12 Streaming) accessed through the WSWHE BOCES Library System. Vector Training (SafeSchools), provided by Utica National Insurance, supports staff safety training. The district maintains accessibility compliance with WCAG 2.0-2.1 A/AA and adheres to FERPA, Title IX, Section 504, ADA, NYS Education Law 2-d (aligned to the NIST Cybersecurity Framework), DASA, and McKinney-Vento requirements.

The business model is that of a public entity rather than a commercial enterprise: core educational services, Universal Pre-K, and meals are provided free at point of use, with revenue derived from property taxes levied on district residents (warrants adopted in August, levied each September, collected via MuniciPay) and New York State aid. Annual budgeting follows a fixed calendar — Board adoption in April followed by voter approval on the third Tuesday in May. Marketing and family engagement run through the district website, ParentSquare, monthly 'Jaguar Jottings' newsletters, school calendars, and monthly Board of Education meetings. Distribution is direct enrollment on-campus, with bus transportation for eligible students and a Universal Pre-K lottery when applications exceed openings.
