2019-20 BUDGET APPROVED BY WEBSTER CSD COMMUNITY AND BOE MEMBERS ELECTED
Special thanks to the Webster CSD community for making your voices heard on Tuesday, May 21, regarding the proposed 2019-20 district budget and board of education election. The budget was approved by a 68% margin. We also congratulate Tammy Gurowski, Linda Dioguardi, and Maria Rigillo who district voters elected to three-year terms on the board of education, beginning on July 1.
The board also thanks members of the Budget Advisory Committee (BAC) for their participation in the 2019-20 budget process. If you would like to learn more about the development of school district budgets, we encourage you to serve on the 2020-21 BAC. Please email Lisa Borrino in the district’s business office, Lisa_Borrino@webstercsd.org, if you are interested.
WEBSTER CSD, EMERGENCY RESPONDERS ANNOUNCE LARGE-SCALE DRILL ON JUNE 27
Webster CSD is partnering with area fire, emergency medical service, and police agencies to stage a large-scale emergency drill that will provide all agencies valuable feedback.
The drill takes place on Thursday, June 27 at Schlegel Road Elementary School, 1548 Schlegel Road, from 8:30 a.m.-11:00 p.m. Safety during the drill is paramount for all involved, thus necessitating the need for Schlegel Road to be temporarily closed to traffic from Phillips Road to Salt Road. Webster Special Police will direct traffic at these intersections to provide local resident access. (Please note that Webster schools are closed for the summer at the time of this event.)
During the drill, Webster CSD, Webster Police Department, Webster Volunteer Fire Department, West Webster Volunteer Fire Department, Webster Emergency Medical Service, and Northeast Quadrant Advanced Life will simulate and respond to a large-scale school incident to test these agencies’ coordinated response. On-site evaluators will be present throughout to provide feedback that will help develop an after action plan (AAP) that will be provided to all participating agencies to assist with future trainings and any additional needs.

If you can’t attend scheduled board of education meetings in person, please remember that regular board of education meetings are broadcast LIVE on WETV- Spectrum Cable Channel 1301 and live-streamed on websterschools.org > District > Board Home > Live/Recorded Meetings.
