We Don't Know Yet

May 23rd came and went. That was the date we were to hear whether North Adams would be included on the D.O.E. recommended list for funding of the Extended Learning Day. There were conversations but no commitments made. So we don't know yet. What we do know is that the available funds this time around are much more limited than last year - and the number of school districts applying for funding is much higher than last year. Getting ELT funding for all four schools (Brayton, Greylock, Sullivan and Conte), given the limited funding, is an increasing concern. For the elementary schools, it has to be all three. So it may come down to the elementary schools - or the middle school - or no school. We should hear something within the next couple of weeks. Final word on funding may not be until July.
