As we continue to work on the busing issue, we want to give everyone an update as of the morning on Friday, Sept. 15.
Although there has been improvement, the current issues that remain are unacceptable to both the Valley Central School District and the bus company. While it is likely to take several days or more to address all of the issues we have experienced, we are continuing to work with the bus company on these concerns and remain committed to providing a student transportation service as promised by the new contract.
We are aware that many of our families experienced significant delays yesterday and today as our new buses left the garages with new routes, schedules, bus stops and staff. We understand your frustration, and are working to improve the bus routes.

A statement from Lisa Raymond, Assistant Superintendent of Business re: tax rebates:
The Valley Central School did stay under the tax cap and did submit a government efficiency plan that was approved. Taxpayers should expect to receive a rebate from the NYS Division of Budget.
The Valley Central School District has been served with tax certiorari proceedings from Allegiance Healthcare for the last four school years. Although the District would be impacted by any reductions in the assessments of the District’s largest taxpayer in the form of court-ordered refunds, it is not automatically a party to those proceedings. To better protect the District’s significant financial stake in the outcome of such proceedings, the Board of Education has decided to intervene which will ensure that the District’s legal counsel will be able to actively participate in all court developments, including settlement negotiations.
