Merger Feasibility Study and Vote
The Canajoharie and Fort Plain central school districts conducted a merger study in 2024. The districts 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 culminated in January 2025 with a presentation of the findings to the communities.
On Thursday, Jan. 16, 2025, the boards of education jointly decided the process should move forward after reviewing the study. A series of votes of the communities would then be required. The first vote, or Straw Vote, will take place on March 6, 2025.
