CCS Board Candidates

Express Views At Forum

Gathering in the CCS Middle-High School library, four candidates vying for three open seats discussed a wide range of topics tonight at a forum organized by the League of Women Voters, Cooperstown Chapter.  Current board members Marcy Birch and Tony Scalici faced off against challengers Nancy Areliusson and Matt Schuermann. Topics covered included technology in schools, business-oriented classes, the current drug epidemic, special education, school safety, budgeting priorities, and extra-curricular activities.   The polls will be open 7 a.m.-8 p.m. Tuesday, May 15, for school board elections and for a vote on the 2018-19 school budget.
