2025-26 District-Wide Safety Plan Public Hearing to be Held Aug. 18

Saratoga Springs High School has been named a 2024-2025 School of Excellence by the New York State Public High School Athletic Association.

The designation is awarded to schools that apply and have at least 75% of their varsity teams earn the Scholar-Athlete Team Award during their respective sports seasons. NYSPHSAA’s Scholar-Athlete Team Award has a proud tradition of celebrating schools that exemplify a commitment to success in the classroom while balancing the demands of athletic participation. 

“Congratulations to our Schools of Distinction and Excellence,” said Dr. Robert Zayas, NYSPHSAA Executive Director. “These prestigious honors represent the culmination of a school year marked by outstanding achievement in the classroom. These accolades would not be possible without the dedication, hard work, and commitment of the student-athletes, coaches, and administrators whose efforts these awards proudly recognize.” 

The New York State Safe Schools Against Violence in Education (SAVE) law requires school districts to develop a school safety plan to prevent or minimize the effects of serious violent incidents, natural/manmade disasters and declared state disaster emergencies involving a communicable disease or local public health emergency declaration and other emergencies. 

Project SAVE is a comprehensive planning effort that addresses prevention, response, and recovery with respect to a variety of emergencies in school districts.

A public hearing on the Schuylerville CSD 2025-26 District-Wide Safety Plan will be held at 5:45 p.m. on Monday, Aug. 18. The district’s safety plan is updated annually, posted for 30 days prior to the public hearing for review, and then adopted by the Board of Education.
