Merger Feasibility Study
The Canajoharie and Fort Plain central school districts are conducting a merger feasibility study in 2024. The districts have received state aid to help cover the cost of the study. Additionally, both have applied for grant funding to cover the remainder of the costs.
This study, approved by each district’s Board of Education, is a required first step any time two or more districts are considering a merger. The study began in June of 2024 and will culminate in January 2025 with a presentation of the findings to the communities.
If the boards decide the process should move forward after reviewing the study, a series of votes of the communities would then be required.
The Advisory Committee will meet on the following dates. Virtual links are included:
Dec. 12 - Canajoharie High School - 3:30 - 5:30 p.m.
In addition, a Student Focus group will meet at 1 p.m. at the Fort Plain JR/SR High School on Oct. 30 and two Community Focus Groups will meet at 3:30 - 4:30 p.m. at Canajoharie High School and 6 - 7 p.m. at Harry Hoag Elementary School. Anyone who is not on the committee or focus groups can attend or log on the virtual meeting on Nov. 14 as well.
