The board is responsible for establishing the quality of education in the district. As elected officials, they represent the public in:

  • defining the philosophy of the district;
  • setting goals and objectives to achieve educational progress;
  • establishing policies for the operation of the school district;
  • evaluating the effectiveness of district programs and services;
  • developing a budget consistent with educational needs and community resources.

 

  • C-RCS Board of Education meetings are normally held in the William H. Golding Middle School library at 6:30 p.m. Board of Education meetings are videotaped by Schopeg. Livestream information will be posted to the district website prior to each meeting. Past Board of Education meetings can be found under the Board Meetings tab.

    As of July 1, 2025, the Cobleskill-Richmondville Board of Education includes two non-voting student representatives (one lead, one alternate) who offer insight and feedback on behalf of the student body. These students attend Board meetings, participate in discussions, and help ensure that student voices are represented in district decision-making.
