Governor Kathy Hochul today launched a new web portal to support access to vaccines and public health information in the wake of measles cases in New York State. The Governor joined State Health Commissioner Dr. James McDonald to update New Yorkers on the cases and encouraged everyone to ensure they are current on all recommended immunizations. There have been four total cases of measles in New York State so far this year, three in New York City and one in Suffolk County. None of the cases this year are related to each other or connected to the outbreaks in Texas and New Mexico. The risk of measles to New Yorkers from these outbreaks is low.

Petitions nominating candidates for the office of member of the Board of Education of the Fallsburg School District will be available in the Central Office beginning on March 20, 2025 between the hours of 9:00 AM - 3:00 PM. Petitions must be signed by at least 25 qualified voters of the district. They must be returned to the District Clerk no later than 5:00 PM on April 21, 2025.

The purpose of this message is to discuss Governor Hochul’s proposal to promote “distraction-free schools.” You may have heard about this in the media over the past several months referred to as a cell phone ban or restricting student smartphones in schools. I wanted to take a moment to outline what is in the Governor’s proposal and what we will do here at Fallsburg should the proposal become law. El propósito de este mensaje es discutir la propuesta de la Gobernadora Hochul de promover “escuelas libres de distracciones”. Es posible que haya oído hablar de esto en los medios durante los últimos meses, denominado prohibición de teléfonos celulares o Restringir los teléfonos inteligentes de los estudiantes en las escuelas. Quería tomarme un momento para describir lo que hay en la propuesta de la Gobernadora y lo que haremos aquí en Fallsburg si llegara la propuesta ha convertirse en ley.

The SYDA Foundation generously donated $4,000 to the Fallsburg Central School District, continuing its decades-long tradition of support. Annabelle Baylin, a SYDA volunteer and educator, presented Superintendent of Schools, Dr. Ivan Katz, with the check.
