Massena Central superintendent details scaled down strategic plan priorities

MASSENA — The Massena Central School District’s “Priorities and Strategies” for 2020 to 2023 are a little smaller than in the past, thanks to COVID-19. A district committee of about 30 stakeholders, including parents, students, staff and administrators have met each year since 2016 to look at the district’s strategic plan and the metrics used for evaluation and make changes to it. Meanwhile, district-level committees also meet with Prism Systems, the consultant used for drawing up the plan. “Students are our first priority, and our decisions are made in regard to what’s in the best interest of students. We have metrics such as graduation rates, state test scores, chronic absenteeism and several others,” Superintendent Patrick Brady said.

Massena Central looking at tough budgets probably for the next three years, minimum

Monday, December 21, 2020 - 1:14 pm BY ANDY GARDNER North Country This Week MASSENA – The Massena Central School District is looking at “a tough budget year” due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Loren Fountaine, who chairs the Board of Education’s Finance Committee, gave his perspective during the full board’s Thursday, Dec. 17 meeting. “I think we all know we’re in for a tough budget year, probably for the next three years, minimum,” he said. Shortfalls in tax revenue at the state level have left Massena’s town and village boards preparing for a 20% cut in state aid. Both made mid-year cuts to their budgets in anticipation of the cuts, and the town had a difficult time last month crafting their 2021 budget. It slightly raised taxes and the tax rate. School districts could be looking at a similar situation.
