MAYVILLE – The Jamestown Post-Journal is reporting today that the Cassadaga Valley Central School board will establish an advisory committee to discuss closing Cassadaga Elementary School.
The motion to establish the committee came after Superintendent Scott Smith’s latest report to the board. Smith reiterated the declining enrollment numbers, adding the latest information from outreach to pre-kindergarten students.
According to projections, the enrollment at Cassadaga Valley schools next year will be about 993 students, a decline of 56 students from the current enrollment. Enrollment at the Cassadaga Elementary School would decline by 30 students, leaving 65 students in a building designed for more than 500.
Further discussion is expected during a work session on March 4, with a possible vote on the issue coming March 14.
