Reorganization Feasibility Study: Troy CSD & Wynantskill UFSD

Wynantskill Union Free School District Announces Results of Reorganization Vote with Enlarged City School District of Troy

WYNANTSKILL, NY - The Wynantskill Union Free School District today announced the results of the public vote regarding the proposed reorganization with the Enlarged City School District of Troy.

On March 31, 2026, district residents cast their ballots on the proposal to merge the Wynantskill UFSD with the Troy Enlarged City School District. The final vote tally was:

● Yes: 709
● No: 507

Based on these results, the proposition has passed.

Superintendent Yodis acknowledged the significance of the vote and expressed appreciation for community participation.

“We are grateful to our residents for engaging in this important decision and making their voices heard. This process has reflected the strong commitment our community has to the future of our students and our schools.”

The approval of the reorganization marks a significant step toward combining resources and educational opportunities for Wynantskill students. The districts will now begin the transition process, which will include coordination with the New York State Education Department and the development of a detailed implementation timeline.

Board of Education President Nichole Hurbanek added:

“We respect the outcome of the vote and remain committed to supporting our students, staff, and community as we move forward together.”

The district will provide additional information and next steps in the coming weeks. Residents are encouraged to visit the district website at https://www.wynantskillufsd.org for updates and resources related to the vote and its implications.
