Dear Resident:
What a great and exciting year it has been to be at Unatego Central School. I have been able to observe first hand some amazing accomplishments that show what a fine student body and school you have.
Although secondary in importance your athletic teams have had good seasons and accomplished a great deal. I much enjoyed the efforts put forth by the boys and girls basketball teams. We had some talented hard working wrestlers who fought so hard during every minute of every match. I admire so much the dedication of Cody Dill as he wrestled his way into the state tournament. The spirit of our girls Section IV volleyball championship team was a wonder to behold. All of our teams lost with dignity and won with humility, traits that will help all our participants find success in their futures.
We had a very spirited debate season this year. The season culminated in a regional championship by Ashley Starbuck who will be competing nationally later in the school year. I hope her example will spur others to take up debate, a skill which is so important in adult life and lacking in so many.
Throughout our K-12 system I have seen over and over care and concern for each other and a desire to excel from many of our nearly 1200 students. My hat is off to some wonderful students and the combined efforts of so many parents, teachers, bus drivers, custodians and all of the support staff who do so much to encourage and establish a great educational place to in which learn and interact socially.
Now we head to the home stretch of the school year. Foremost on my mind is the adoption of the budget. This community has done much to support education and I thank you all for both your moral support and you fiscal support of all of our programs. The Board has stressed the need for favorable class sizes and has insisted upon maintaining sufficient staffing to attend to all the needs of our students. We will to strive to maintain this level in spite of the financial difficulties at the state level and its potential impact on state aid upon which we are so dependent.
In closing I invite all residents to participate in our open budget debate and beyond that, to consider running for a seat on the school board. Please call the office if you would like more details.
Happy Spring!
Charles A. Molloy
Interim Superintendent of Schools
