Dear KLSD Families,

Welcome to the 2024-25 school year! We are off to a great start. I want to express my heartfelt gratitude to the families and community members who have extended a warm welcome to the KLSD family. I am both excited and humbled by the opportunity to serve as your superintendent for the Katonah-Lewisboro School District.

Growing up in Liverpool, New York, as the seventh of eight children, I learned the value of strong relationships and the importance of connection. These values have been the foundation of my journey as an educator and a father of four. Throughout my career, I have been deeply committed to ensuring that all children are supported emotionally, physically, and academically to reach their highest potential.

In the months ahead, we will begin a process as a community to set our shared vision and goals for KLSD. I am eagerly looking forward to the many conversations we will have together throughout the fall as we create the KLSD 2030 Vision. These gatherings will be invaluable in highlighting our points of pride and determining the next steps to continue advancing our wonderful district. Please stay tuned for more information on these upcoming opportunities for dialogue.

Please look for me and say hello at upcoming school events!

In partnership,

Dr. Ray Blanch

Superintendent of Schools
