The Menands Union Free School District— better known as Menands School—serves approximately 300 students in 4 Year Old PRE-K through eighth grade. The school district pays tuition for an additional 130 Menands students in ninth through 12th grades to attend one of four area high schools: Shaker High School in North Colonie Central School District, Colonie Central High School (South Colonie), Watervliet High School, or Tech Valley High School. A small public school district that never centralized with other schools, Menands Union Free School District has been in existence for over 140 years and continues to be a focal point of our village community.
Strategic Plan
On September 12, 2022, the Board of Education approved a Strategic Plan that will guide the district over the next five years. This plan was thoughtfully developed by a comprehensive constituent group to align with our mission & vision.
Specific Action Steps have been created which align with our overarching District Goals of:
- student achievement and success
- social-emotional learning
- diversity, equity and inclusivity
- fiscal responsibility
Ongoing updates will be provided throughout the duration of the plan, so all involved can celebrate our successes, and continue to learn and grow through the work.
