2024 Capital Project Planning Process Outlined in Town Hall Meeting

Vestal Central School District's 2024 Capital Project Planning Process was outlined during the Town Hall meeting on Monday, September 16, 2024. To view the presentation, click on Vestal CSD 09162024 TOWN HALL.pdf



Vestal CSD to Host Town Hall Meeting to Discuss Proposed Capital Project

The Vestal School District is always pursuing excellence in the areas of teaching and learning, and we are happy to report that the school year is off to a great start! 

The District is also in need of some capital work due to NYS mandates, including electrification of bus fleets and classroom temperature regulations. Thus, we are discussing a proposed Capital Project to address these issues. 
There will be a Town Hall Meeting taking place in the Vestal High School Auditorium on Monday, September 16th at 6 p.m. with both our architect and construction teams present. A presentation of the proposed projects will be shared, and then there will be an opportunity for questions. 

Everyone is an important part of the Vestal community. We look forward to your valuable feedback as we continue to look toward the future.

Vestal Business Students Receive Honor at National FBLA Competition
Eleven students just returned from the Orlando National FBLA Competition. Inaaya Sethi won 8th place in the country and worldwide in Advertising.  This is not an easy accomplishment.  Each student must compete on our local competition and place 1st -2nd.  Then they have to compete in NYS level and place 1st -3rd.  So, at the National level they are competing against the top of each state and several other countries.

We also had 2 Vestal students that took Introduction to Business at Vestal this year and studied units in Business Ethics and AI.  They entered a Fundamentals of Ethics A*S*K Certification Exam using their knowledge from our Vestal class to see if they could be Nationally Certified in Business Ethics.   This Exam demonstrates their understanding of the skills and knowledge demanded by employers and important for success in the business world.
Both students Inaaya Sethi and Wassim Hila both passed with Exemplary level-5 which is the highest level possible!
At the end of the trip, Ms. Mezzadonna was presented with the plaque. Congratulations!!
