Please consider volunteering for the 2027-28 Spencerport Budget Focus Group. 

The volunteer group meets six times during the budget development process to share their own views and community perspective on revenues, expenditures, the tax levy, and the tax rate. Group members do not make budget decisions. Instead, they provide feedback, ask questions, and help share facts and information about the budget process with the community.

The Budget Focus Group meets at 5:30 p.m. on Tuesdays in the District Office building. The 2027 BFG meeting dates are as follows:

If interested in serving on this committee, please contact Marcy Clapper, at mclapper@spencerportschools.org.

NY Inspires is New York State's initiative to update graduation requirements and align learning experiences with college, career, and civic readiness. Developed through feedback from parents, students, educators, higher education institutions, businesses, and community members, the initiative proposes changes designed to better prepare students for life after high school.

Key components of NY Inspires include:
•    A greater focus on demonstrating knowledge and skills, rather than completing requirements based solely on seat time.
•    More personalized learning experiences that reflect students' strengths, needs, and interests.
•    Continued access to rigorous learning opportunities for all students.
•    Increased emphasis on real-world applications and connections across subject areas.
•    Multiple pathways for students to demonstrate learning and readiness for graduation.
As implementation moves forward, the New York State Education Department will provide guidance to school districts regarding changes to graduation requirements, instruction, and assessment. 

How Spencerport is preparing for NY Inspires
Spencerport held a half-day release for all students on Oct. 9, providing staff with the afternoon to review the NY Inspires initiative and collaborate on its potential implications for teaching and learning across the district.

While the state continues to provide guidance on implementation, several components of NY Inspires align with work already underway in Spencerport. Mainly, our Portrait of a Graduate, which is embedded in our strategic plan, identifies the knowledge, skills, and attributes we want students to develop throughout their educational journey. The attributes are defined at three key milestones: 5th grade, 8th grade and 12th grade.

The district will continue to review information from New York State and communicate any relevant updates to families and community members. Additional information and resources:
