Two Steuben County school districts are weighing a potential merger, according to WENY. The Bradford Central School District and Campbell-Savona Central School District boards have approved a joint feasibility study.
Leaders say both districts rely heavily on state aid, which has slowed in recent years. They’ve faced budget pressure, tough program decisions, and rising tax levies. The study will review academics, staffing, transportation, facilities, finances, and tax impacts.
Officials stress that a study doesn’t equal a merger. Both boards must act again, and voters in each district must approve any final plan. Leaders expect to share timelines and public input opportunities soon.
