Important Information: 2020 Annual Budget Vote and School Board Election

Dear Saugerties Community,                                   May 30th, 2020

As we notified you previously, the Governor has required that this year’s annual budget vote and election be held via absentee ballot only. The District contracted with NTS to print and mail its absentee ballots. On Friday, May 29th, we were notified that NTS has had a major supply issue as it did not receive the shipment of envelopes it expected to receive last week. As a result, the absentee ballots for many districts, including ours, have not yet been mailed out.

There is still time for the ballots to be mailed. NTS is working to resolve this issue and the District is working on a contingency plan should the supply chain issue not be resolved. We will update the District’s website as soon as ballots have been mailed. We will also be making arrangements to allow for physical drop off of ballots prior to June 9th, as well as on June 9th. 

Additional information on that process will be forthcoming. We will continue to work with NTS, as well as local and state officials, to resolve this issue and ensure the integrity of our vote process.

Thank you for your patience and support.

Sincerely,
Kirk Reinhardt
Superintendent of Schools

Important Update on School Closures Through June 26, 2020

May 1, 2020

Governor Cuomo has issued an executive order extending the mandatory closing of all New York schools through 
June 26, 2020.  Please read the full letter from Mr. Reinhardt below.

As we work through these challenging times together, NY State of Health is committed to
ensuring access to affordable, quality health insurance for all New Yorkers so they can get the
care they need during this state of emergency. 

With the recent closure of businesses across the state, many New Yorkers are at risk of losing their health insurance coverage as a result of COVID-19. Many are likely to be eligible for health coverage with financial assistance through NY State of Health due to their loss of coverage and income. NY State of Health opened a Special Enrollment Period last month for people who are uninsured, and the Marketplace has started an awareness campaign to let people know that NY State of Health is there as a safety net in difficult times like these. 

New Yorkers who are without health insurance should apply now through NY State of Health. If you lost employer coverage, you must apply within 60 days of losing that coverage. Because of a loss of income, New Yorkers may also be eligible for Medicaid, the Essential Plan, Child Health Plus, or subsidized Qualified Health Plan coverage. 

Thousands of assistors are ready throughout the state to help consumers enroll by phone. NY State of Health is committed to helping New Yorkers get the coverage they need so they can get the care they need. 

Visit us at: www.nystateofhealth.ny.gov and let us help you find a health care plan that works for you. 

If you have additional questions you can contact the Marketplace directly at 518-486-9102 or NYSOH@health.ny.gov.
