Board to project enrollment

POPLAR RIDGE - The Southern Cayuga Central School District Board of Education decided Monday to hire a professional to project future enrollment, but one board member voiced concern that such information could be used to unilaterally close a district building.

The board voted in favor of hiring Dr. Paul Seversky based out of the Madison-Oneida Board of Cooperative Educational Services to conduct in-depth research and project future enrollment as part of the district's long-range facilities planning process during its regular meeting Monday.

The cost to the district will be $1,211, as Seversky's services are 68 percent state aidable.
