Consultant Alan Pole said at the Dec. 18 merger advisory committee meeting that there is adequate room.
Officials from both districts agreed at the start of the study that the Fort Edward school building would stay open for at least five years after a merger. Pole said based upon enrollment projections, he believes the Fort Edward building would need to stay open to house elementary students for the foreseeable future.
âSouth Glens Falls elementary schools are fairly crowded. I wouldnât say theyâre overcrowded, but there isnât a lot of extra space,â he said at the meeting, which was conducted entirely virtually because of the rising COVID-19 cases.
