What Rosario Said About Closing an Elementary in December!


KYSERIKE - Rondout Valley Superintendent Rosario Agostaro recommended Tuesday that the school board form a subcommittee to examine whether there is a more efficient way to organize the district’s schools.

Agostaro made the suggestion at the board's meeting in response to Trustee James Ayers, who asked Agostaro if he thinks the district’s elementary school program could be delivered in two schools instead of the current three.

The superintendent said he didn’t mean to “skirt around” the question, but the answer is complex. “Multiple models and ideas” are possible, he said.

Following the meeting, Agostaro said he envisioned a subcommittee of the board talking about the configuration of the entire district rather than just elementary schools.


(Was this done??)

School board President Gail Hutchins added the state’s dire financial condition compels the board to consider new ways to save money. She said school officials have had some informal discussions about starting up such a committee.

Agostaro said in addition to cost-saving measures, the committee should also consider other factors like opportunities to improve educational delivery and what the community wants.


Community: Tell Rosario what you want.
