CHARTER SCHOOL INFORMATION

On March 15, 2013, the Guardian Academy Charter School of Peekskill submitted a charter school application to the Charter School Office at the NYS State Education Department (NYSED). If this application is accepted and a Charter School is established in Peekskill, the drain to our school district's funds would force drastic cuts in the programs and staff at our schools. Please take the time to reference these important information resources and learn more about what you can do to help preserve programs and staff at the Peekskill City School District.
