  • evaluating the effectiveness of district programs and services;
  • developing a budget consistent with educational needs and community resources.

As of July 1, 2025, the Cobleskill-Richmondville Board of Education includes two non-voting student representatives (one lead, one alternate) who offer insight and feedback on behalf of the student body. These students attend Board meetings, participate in discussions, and help ensure that student voices are represented in district decision-making.
