Public hearing/Board of Education meeting on 5/11/26
Parents, caregivers, and community members of Newark Valley Central School District—this is a moment that truly matters for our children.
We are asking you to show up, stand together, and make your voices heard at the upcoming public hearing and board meeting. Our grassroots anti-bullying campaign will be presenting critical requests aimed at creating real, lasting change—reducing bullying, ensuring proper and legally required reporting of incidents, and strengthening the safety, mental health, and emotional well-being of every student in our district.
This is not just about policies—it’s about protecting our kids, supporting those who feel unheard, and building a school environment where every child feels safe and respected.
Your presence matters. Whether you have experienced concerns firsthand, want to support positive change, or simply care about the future of our schools, we need you in that room.
