Catskill CSD and CASDA Collaborate on Strategic Plan for Local Schools' Future

Catskill CSD is collaborating with the Capital Area School Development Association (CASDA) to develop a detailed plan. The goal is to identify the district's strengths, address its challenges, and plan for the future. This plan will cater to the changing needs of students and the community.

In the last two weeks, CASDA's executive director Dr. Michael Piccirillo and consultant Dr. Deborah Grimshaw have led focus groups. Both have a background in education administration. The purpose of these focus groups is to understand how the district's schools are functioning.

Various members of the school community have participated in these focus groups. Elementary staff, high school students, and middle school students gave their input on January 31. Secondary staff provided their feedback on February 5. Dr. Piccirillo and Dr. Grimshaw have been carefully considering this feedback.

The feedback from these focus groups will help shape Catskill CSD's future plan. This plan will aim to meet the changing needs of the students and the community.
