We are proud of the high-quality opportunities we provide for our children in the Camden Central School District. Of equal importance is sharing information about how those opportunities are provided to our students and families. Therefore, we would like to address rumors related to missing money, which have circulated throughout the community.

The District is unaware of, and has no knowledge of, any missing money. The District has internal and external auditors who monitor our finances, and we are currently working with the Office of the New York State Comptroller on a focused audit.

The current deficit we are projecting in our proposed budget is solely due to rising operational costs and decreasing revenues. We are working with our Budget Committee, administration, staff, financial advisors, and the Board of Education to address the deficit through reductions in all areas of the budget, while preserving the exceptional learning opportunities throughout the school year which our students and community are proud of and deserve.

With our community’s support, and the dedication of our faculty and staff, our schools stand as places of tremendous opportunity, with programs as unique as the aspirations of our students. Through our shared commitment to our students, the Camden Central School District will continue to be an exceptional place to learn and grow.
