The New York State School Boards Association recognizes October 19-23, 2020 as School Board Recognition Week. This is a time to promote awareness and understanding of the important work performed by school board members. 

Galway Central School District is joining all public school districts across the state to celebrate and honor our local Board members for their commitment to our school community and children. 

“On behalf of the Galway Central School District, we would like to thank our Board of Education members for graciously devoting their time and talents to the district,” said Galway Central School Superintendent Brita Donovan. “They truly care about each and every student and want what is best for them. Their diligent oversight gives our school community confidence and trust that their resources are cared for wisely with the sole purpose of empowering generations of learners.”
