The Ravena-Coeymans-Selkirk Central School District honored faculty and staff members who retired or will retire during the 2025-26 school year at the June 17, 2026, Board of Education meeting. During the ceremony, district leaders recognized the retirees for their dedication and contributions throughout their careers at RCS.
Superintendent of Schools Craig P. Chandler began thanking the retirees for the impact they have made throughout their careers.
“You’ve all made a tremendous difference,” Chandler said. “To every one of you, you are leaving behind big shoes to fill. You are leaving behind a district that's generally better because you spent your time here.”
