LOHUD, HUDSON VALLEY SCHOOLS OPEN NEXT WEEK, WHAT ARE THE BIG ISSUES, A FORAY INTO RAMAPO, ETC. ETC. ETC.

Welcome to The New Everything Croton, a collection of all things Croton--our history, our homes, our issues, our businesses, our schools, our houses of worship--in short, EVERYTHING CROTON.

LOHUD, EXTENSIVE ARTICLE

-Hudson Valley schools open next week: When does your district start? What big issues loom?
-A new law that requires schools to promote voter registration starts this presidential election year.
-School bus drivers are needed. One transportation director said the job's rewards include watching kids grow and blossom. "We see all of the fruits of our labor."
-Some districts are under temporary leadership. Many districts continue to seek teachers and support staff; bilingual teachers remain in demand.

Public schools throughout the Lower Hudson Valley start opening Sept. 3, though some will wait for later in the week to launch the 2024-25 academic year and several are staggering first days and start times for kids. (See our full listing below to find out when your schools open.)

Plenty of issues — some brought to the fore in a post-pandemic educational landscape — are on the minds of educators, families and political leaders.

Curbing absences:Why student absentee rates have soared since the pandemic, and what schools are doing to help--It's a presidential election year, so those AP Gov lessons take on another layer of relevance. Since just before the last presidential election, New York has allowed 16- and 17-year-olds to preregister to vote.  MORE AT Schools in Westchester, Rockland, Putnam NY open next week. See when.
