Department of Rumor Control: How many children will be enrolling in our school district from Maple Commons?
The official answer is that the Croton-Harmon district does not yet know the number nor who they might be.
There have been rumors floating around for months that the Croton-Harmon school district knows how many schoolchildren will be enrolling from Maple Commons, knows who they are, knows what their supposed “special needs” and language requirements will be, etc. etc.
I am told by the district clerk that the district has no information from Maple Commons about who the children will be and how many, nor is there a registration deadline for enrollment in the fall that has to be met.
This is consistent with what I was told by Ken Regan, VP of Regan Development Corporation, a couple of weeks ago.

God bless all you who showed up for the all important meeting. !!!The village that I love is no more. I did stand up with others in the past and we stopped HUD. but when we’re not paying attention, I turn around and they call it progress. It’s a crying shame. We were warned the progressive left was coming after the suburbs. Well, they came, and they conquered. The village that we love ,the beauty, the open space ,that’s why people came here. No more!!! elections have consequences. I hope you’re able to stop this project .We The People!!!Deann Sarcone
I think it's a very important question because my guess is that the various proposed multitenant buildings will not increase our Village, Town, or County taxes - but they might very well increase our School taxes significantly - both now and in the future. Michael, identify a few multitenant complexes in the rivertown area and FOIL their school districts for the number of students from those complexes. A litte averaging will give us an expected number of students. Might not be exact, but will certainly be in the ballpark.
