Controversies
Some of Mount Vernon's schools have fallen in disrepair due to financial issues. In a 2011 article by The Journal News, writers Cathey O'Donnell and Gary Stern noted:
- "In Mount Vernon, meanwhile, where a high school wall collapsed last year, inspectors flagged buildings for insufficient smoke detectors, poor air quality, evidence of rodents and vermin, halls without emergency lighting and junction boxes with exposed live wires."
The school district also came under fire in 2011 when then-superintendent, W. L. Sawyer, blocked charter schools from receiving funding, citing a lack of funds due to budget cuts and a new 2 percent cap on local property-tax increases.
