Dear Garden City School Community,
  
On behalf of the Board of Education and Administration, I would like to thank our community for its support of the district’s proposed budget with approximately 80.05% (1,376) approval.

I am also pleased to share that Ms. Erin Debrich and Ms. Debra Cupani have been elected as the newest members of our Board of Education. We look forward to welcoming them to this important role and working together in service of our district’s mission and values.

Because of your support, we will continue to invest in what matters most: strong literacy instruction, smaller class sizes, innovative programs, and meaningful opportunities that nurture every learner. This budget allows us to deepen our commitment to academic excellence while continuing to care for the whole child - a district that is moving forward with purpose. It also provides for necessary updates to our facilities so we can ensure safe and well-maintained learning environments for all students.

Thank you for being a community that stands with its schools. Your partnership ensures that Garden City remains a place where students thrive, teachers feel supported, and families know their voices matter.

Sincerely,
 
Kusum
 
Kusum Sinha, Ed.D.
Superintendent of Schools
