Averill Park Central School District (APCSD) is a rural fringe[2] public school district located east of the city of Rensselaer in south central Rensselaer County, New York. The district has five operating school buildings: three elementary schools, one middle school, and one high school. The district is a member of the Rensselaer-Columbia-Greene Board of Cooperative Educational Services (BOCES), known as Questar III.

[edit] Geography
The district serves ten towns in Rensselaer County and encompasses roughly 120 square miles (310 km2)[4] in the towns of Berlin, Brunswick, East Greenbush, Grafton, Nassau, North Greenbush, Poestenkill, Sand Lake, Schodack, and Stephentown. The district is bordered by Brunswick (Brittonkill) Central School District to the north; Berlin Central School District to the east; New Lebanon Central School District to the south; and East Greenbush Central School District, Wynantskill Union Free School District, and The Enlarged City School District of Troy to the west.[3]
[edit] Administration
[edit] Board of Education
The Board of Education (BOE) is the authoritative legislative body of the school district. It approves policy and funding; sets committees and district priorities; and approves employment (including the Superintendent) within the district, among other things. The BOE is made up of seven members. Until 2006-07-01, each member served for five years. Members elected after that date now serve three-year terms.[5]
[edit] Superintendent
Michael Marcelle is the interim superintendent. The Superintendent is the Chief Administrative Officer of the district and is responsible for the day to day operations of the district in addition to administering policies of the Board.[6]
[edit] Schools
The district is served by three elementary schools: Miller Hill,[7] Poestenkill,[8] and West Sand Lake Elementary Schools.[9] The former George Washington[10] and Sand Lake[11] Elementary Schools were closed in June 2010 amid budget difficulties. George Washington Elementary is currently being used as an academy for the local BOCES. Algonquin Middle School (grades 6-8)[12] and Averill Park High School[13] are the lone middle and high schools of the district, respectively.[14] Each building has its own building principal.[1]
