Ichabod Crane asks for public input

Jan 06, 2012 12:24 am
Emilia Teasdale in The Columbia Paper reports that the Ichabod Crane School Board holds a series of public forums in the coming months:
• Jan. 10: Budget projections will be presented for one-bell and two-bell busing systems. The proposals for these systems would reduce the number of bus runs each day.
• Jan. 24: Discussion about high school electives and full-day or half-day kindergarten with the public, and what to do with the elementary schools in Valatie and Kinderhook the board shuttered last year.
• A February forum about sports and special education.
The story says the board is in negotiation with the Village of Valatie and the Town of Kinderhook to lease the Martin H. Glynn School in Valatie for offices. There may be a referendum on the May ballot with the annual school district budget vote about the leasing or sale of the building. Read the full story in The Columbia Paper.
