Welcome to the
Pine Plains
Central School District’s Website |
Linda L.
Kaumeyer
Superintendent of Schools |
The District encompasses portions of nine towns in two New York State
counties – the Towns of Ancram, Clermont, Gallatin and Livingston in
Columbia County and the Towns of Clinton, Milan, Northeast and
Stanford in
Dutchess County. We
serve approximately 1500 students in grades K through 12.
Since I joined the district as Superintendent of Schools on September 1,
2004, the Board of Education and I have placed our primary focus on the
improvement of student achievement in a spirit of collaboration with our
administrators, faculty, staff, parents and community members. Parents,
teachers, and administrators serve on the District and Building Leadership
Teams. All of our schools enjoy the benefits of very active PTSA groups.
Our wonderful families and neighbors enthusiastically support the
district’s educational, athletic and community service activities.
The district has two elementary schools – Cold Spring Elementary in
Stanford and Seymour Smith Elementary in Pine Plains. The district has one
middle school (Stissing Mountain Middle School) and one high school (Stissing
Mountain High School) on our main campus in the Town of Pine Plains. In
addition to the core academic programs, we also host a variety of
extra-curricular activities. Over many years, our taxpayers have supported
the expansion and improvement of its school buildings; for example, the
district will enter the last year of a multi-year roof replacement
project. The community has been most supportive of the need to keep our
schools in good physical condition and to provide classrooms, materials,
equipment and facilities to enhance learning.
We hope that you find this web site helpful in answering some of the
questions you may have concerning individual schools, Board of Education
meetings and school events. Please keep returning to our site for updated
information on school activities.
Cordially,
Linda L. Kaumeyer
Superintendent of Schools
