ASHVILLE -- A final informational forum for the Clymer, Sherman and Panama school district communities is set for the end of this month, giving residents one more chance to ask questions and get more information before the final statutory vote is scheduled.
The meeting is set to take place at 6:30 p.m. at the Ashville Hewes BOCES on November 30. The meeting is open to all community members and will be recorded and uploaded to the CSPHub website for anyone unable to attend.
"We will highlight the final recommendations from the independent feasibility study," CSP Merger Study Project Coordinator, Shelly O'Boyle, said. "Additionally, White and Partners will present updated financial data. A major focus of the format is giving residents a dedicated platform to ask questions and discuss the findings."
The town hall is the final public forum before the formal statutory vote, which is the vote that officially decides if the three districts will merge. O'Boyle said the vote has been scheduled by the New York State Commissioner of Education.
The official date for the statutory vote is December 15 from 12 p.m. to 8 p.m. Absentee ballots will be available starting on November 12.
"Voting will take place locally at each individual school district," O'Boyle said. "Residents will be able to obtain absentee and early mail ballots from their respective District Clerks. Military voters should request an early mail ballot. Proof of residency should be brought to the voting site."
