Community members and businesses should be reminded that it is not the practice of the Rhinebeck Central School District to employ the services of any company for the purpose of soliciting money from individuals or local businesses to support our programs or our students, or to otherwise authorize them to do so.

Community Reminded to Be Wary of Companies Soliciting Money for Ads in Support of Rhinebeck School Programs
