We are thrilled to share that the New York State Legislature has approved continued funding for New York State Teacher Centers at current levels for the 2026–2027 school year. This important investment reflects the lasting value of Teacher Centers and the meaningful impact they have on educators and students across New York State.

We extend our sincere gratitude to NYSUT, whose ongoing advocacy helps preserve this vital resource for educators statewide. It is both a privilege and an honor to continue supporting the dedicated professionals who inspire learning, nurture growth, and help students realize their dreams every day.

Big things are happening at South Colonie Central School District!

The financial literacy program piloting this week didn’t happen overnight. It began with the work of Dave Fields at the Greater Capital Region Teacher Center, where he developed a hands-on, real-life approach to teaching personal finance.

Now, with support from Broadview Federal Credit Union, that groundwork is coming to life in a powerful way. The district-wide vision aligned ahead of the NYS mandate, and provides age-appropriate resources at the elementary level while giving HS seniors the opportunity to mentor younger learners.

This is what collaboration and innovation can do.
