In 2011, ''[[The Journal News]]'' featured an article titled "Region's Aging Schools Crumble as Finances Falter", by Cathey O'Donnell and Gary Stern. The article discussed several old school buildings within the region that were in disrepair, how much it would cost to fix them, and which if any might need to be demolished. The Mount Vernon school district was included in the article, which stated:

:"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."<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.lohud.com/article/99999999/WATCHDOG/399990168/|publisher=The Journal News|title=Region's aging schools crumble as finances falter|access-date=July 4, 2015|archive-date=January 13, 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160113080558/http://www.lohud.com/article/99999999/WATCHDOG/399990168/|url-status=live}}</ref>
