The Briarcliff Manor Union Free School District is the public school district of Briarcliff Manor, New York. The district is an independent public entity, and is governed by the district Board of Education, whose members are elected in non-partisan elections for staggered, three-year terms. The board selects a superintendent, who is the district's chief administrative official. The district's offices are located in Todd Elementary School.

Contents

The district has three schools: Todd Elementary School, Briarcliff Middle School and Briarcliff High School. It has about 1,535 students, and spends an average of $24,858 per pupil and has a student–teacher ratio of 11:1 (the national averages are $12,435 and 15.3:1 respectively). The district is a part of the Putnam-Northern Westchester Board of Cooperative Educational Services. The Briarcliff Manor UFSD won first place for the small district category of the 2008 Digital School Districts Survey and currently provided 1 to 1 devices to all students in grades 4 through 12.

History

In 1865, a one-room schoolhouse was built on land donated by John Whitson on the south side of Pleasantville Road, between the Pocantico River and the New York & Putnam Railroad (now NY Route 9A/100). [3] The building (Whitson's School, District No. 6) became the first schoolhouse in the area. George A. Todd, Jr. was the first teacher and superintendent of the school. [4] [5] In 1867, the school was moved to the White School, named thus due to its exterior paint. [6] : 31

Its replacement building, Briarcliff Public School, was built in 1898 on the site of the White School. The building failed to meet requirements set by New York's commissioner of education, and thus in 1910, it became the Briarcliff Community Center, a social organization established by the village. [nb 1] Around the same time, in 1908, $50,000 ($1.51 million in 2021 [7] ) was voted for Briarcliff Manor to buy a plot by Law Memorial Park, and the school moved again, to the Spanish Renaissance-style Grade School building, which was built there the following year. [8] : 50  Students would attend that school from kindergarten to ninth grade and have the option to then attend the nearby Ossining High School. In 1918, the Briarcliff school began educating students through high school; in 1928, a dedicated wing for high school students was built onto the Grade School building. The enlarged school accepted students from Croton, Hawthorne, North White Plains, Valhalla, and as far as Granite Springs. [6] : 68 

In 1953, Todd Elementary School opened to free space at the Law Park grade school for middle- and high-school students. [6] : 153  The present high school opened in 1971 to ease the large enrollment at the Grade School building. [6] : 154  The district under its current name was officially established in 1974. [8] : 58 

In 1980, Pace University began leasing the middle school building, and the middle school was moved to a portion of the new high school building. The Grade School building was demolished in 1996, and a retirement home was built on its site the following year. In the early 2000s, the current Briarcliff Middle School was constructed adjoining to the high school. [9] The wing was completed in 2003 at a cost of $24 million ($35.4 million in 2021 [7] ) in the same red-brick-and-glass style as the high school wing. [10] In 2008, the school district won first place for the small district category of that year's Digital School Districts Survey. [11]

Supreme Court loan

In the 1970s, the school district made an indefinite loan of four sculptures to the U.S. Supreme Court. The works, plaster frieze reliefs designed and sculpted by Adolph Weinman in the 1930s, were models for Weinman's final marble panels that were installed in the Supreme Courtroom in 1935. The models are six inches tall and two feet wide, compared with the 7-foot-tall final products. [12]

Weinman's son, Robert Weinman, donated the models to the school district in the late 1950s; Weinman was a resident of Briarcliff, and his children attended school in the district. [13] The Supreme Court curator had contacted Robert Weinman seeking any models; Weinman directed him to the school district. The models were being kept in the basement of the former middle school, and were moved to the lobby of the Supreme Court Building in 1974, where they have been on display since. [12]

The court's curator sought out the district to donate the pieces around 2010, as part of a larger effort for donation or sale of works on loan to the Supreme Court. The school board had the pieces insured and voted to keep the models in the district's ownership, with a renewable annual lease to the court; as the work's tie to Briarcliff is valued in the district. The district is the only school to have a loan agreement with the Supreme Court. [12]

Briarcliff Farms was a farm established in 1890 by Walter William Law in Briarcliff Manor, a village in Westchester County, New York. One of several enterprises established by Law at the turn of the 20th century, the farm was known for its milk, butter, and cream and also produced other dairy products, American Beauty roses, bottled water, and print media. At its height, the farm was one of the largest dairy operations in the Northeastern United States, operating about 8,000 acres (10 sq mi) with over 1,000 Jersey cattle. In 1907, the farm moved to Pine Plains in New York's Dutchess County, and it was purchased by New York banker Oakleigh Thorne in 1918, who developed it into an Aberdeen Angus cattle farm. After Thorne's death in 1948, the farm changed hands several times; in 1968 it became Stockbriar Farm, a beef feeding operation. Stockbriar sold the farmland to its current owners in 1979.
