History
A February 1999 report released by a chapter of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People and the Nyack Partners in Education stated that honors classes had nine times as many Euro-Americans as African Americans, while the district that Nyack is a part of had two Euro-Americans for one African Americans as a whole. This caused racial tension in the district.[3]
In 2001, Upper Nyack Elementary School, one of the three primary schools in the district, was the subject of "Kindergarten" an HBO documentary that explored the lives of 23 kindergarten students at the school in the 2001–2002 school year.[4] The 13 part series was produced by Emmy winning producers Karen Goodman and Kirk Simon. Goodman said at the time she chose Upper Nyack Elementary School because she, "wanted a school that really could feel like it was anywhere."[5]
