Ferry District school board member proposed downsizing
Ferry District School Board member, Pamela D. Perry-Cahill (front first seat right) at Wednesday nights meeting proposed the School Board downsize to five district seats, eliminating the three at-large occuppied by Florence Johnson, Christopher Jacobs and John Licata. Although the other members responded whimsically to her proposal, the other idea of merging the Buffalo City School District with other districts behooves more investigation. Some say it opens up other educational choices for students instead of relying on the charter school model. What do you think?
