Bill > K00344

This resolution commemorates the 75th anniversary of the Shenendehowa Central School District, which will be celebrated on May 17, 2025. The school district was originally organized on January 14, 1950, consolidating 22 schools across six towns in Saratoga County, New York, covering approximately 86 square miles. The district's name derives from the Iroquois word "Shenendahowe," meaning "Great Plains," and it has grown to become the largest school district in Saratoga County, with over 9,500 students. The resolution highlights the district's commitment to educational excellence, its athletic achievements (with teams called the Plainsmen), and its ongoing mission to develop students' knowledge, skills, and character. The legislative body pauses to recognize the district's significant accomplishments and the leadership of current Superintendent Dr. L. Oliver Robinson, formally acknowledging the milestone anniversary and the district's contributions to education in the region. The resolution will be transmitted to Dr. Robinson and the School District's Board of Education as an official recognition of their 75 years of service.
