• Addison Central School District is continuing with its plans to consolidate and cut staffing and teachers as well.
All told, if district plans to merge, shutter schools and consolidate go into effect, the county could see a significant loss in the number of school district employees over the next four to five years — well over 200. Such drastic cuts could save some money in the long run for school districts, though the loss of 200-plus teachers, school aids, principals and others will also exact a high cost on our communities and significantly add to falling student demographics, loss of local spending and less state aid for schools.
