A recent Editor’s corner (Feb. 12) by John D’Agostino offered his view on the public sector’s perception regarding the $16 billion deficit facing New York state. Quoting from his opening paragraph, “It can be summed up in three words: Ripley Central Schools.”
He went on to reference the fact that the Ripley school board was looking at a $3 million capital improvement project and he voiced the opinion that if the district moved all its students to neighboring schools, there would be no need for the capital project, and all taxpayers would see some benefit. I can’t argue with that logic, but one needs to also look at the effect no school would have on the growth of the very small community, where/how students would go, and how receptive parents might be about putting kindergarten to thord-grade students on a bus because such a venture would require voter approval.
