We are pleased to share some exciting news from our school as we reflect on a remarkable week of achievement and pride here at Jefferson Central School.
This past week, our VEX Robotics Team had the incredible opportunity to compete at the state level in Syracuse at the SRC Arena. Our students demonstrated exceptional teamwork, innovation, and problem-solving skills, representing JCS with pride. The experience was both educational and inspiring for everyone involved, and we couldn’t be more proud of their dedication and effort.
In addition, our Girls Varsity Basketball Team has had an outstanding season and will be playing this Saturday at SUNY Delhi in the Section IV Championship. This is a significant accomplishment, and we are all looking forward to supporting them as they compete for the title. Their hard work and perseverance have truly paid off, and regardless of the outcome, we are incredibly proud of their success and commitment.
Lastly, we are thrilled to announce that one of our very own students is participating in the prestigious Burger Battle at the Culinary Institute of America in Hyde Park, NY. This event provides a fantastic platform for aspiring chefs, and we are excited to see our student showcase their culinary talents among some of the best in the state.
It has truly been a week full of excitement and achievement, and we couldn’t be more proud of the talent, dedication, and spirit shown by our students and athletes. We are grateful to have such a supportive community that encourages and celebrates these accomplishments. We look forward to all the great things yet to come.
Thank you for your continued support of Jefferson Central School District. Together, we are fostering a culture of excellence, and we are excited for the future!
Important message from the JCSD Board of Education
Dear JCS Community,
With the announcement of the shared service agreement with South Kortright
Central School for superintendent services, the JCS Board of Education wanted
to give everyone some more details.
Starting out, this is a 15 month pilot of a shared superintendent model. At the end
of the pilot there is the option to extend, if mutually agreed upon by all parties.
Please rest assured that all existing shared services and agreements with all
other districts remain unchanged. This includes our partnership with Stamford for
athletics. All of Dr. Ceng's duties and responsibilities at Jefferson will still be
required of him to perform.
Now for the changes to expect. Dr. Ceng will be splitting his time in the building
with South Kortright. His presence in our district will be less but he is to remain
available for consultation as the need arises. The most important change will be
the significant savings the district will realize. We listened to the taxpayers and
their wishes to save in this area. This is the most efficient way to accomplish it.
We understand that the lack of details prior to the signed agreement can be
frustrating. Due to the legal circumstances of one and or both districts,
confidentiality had to remain intact throughout the process.
We will always have the best interest of the students, faculty, staff and taxpayers
as a top priority. If anyone has any questions please feel free to reach out via
email at boe@jeffersoncsd.org
Sincerely,
Jessica Hendrickson
On behalf of the Jefferson Central School Board
