An update on the Rochester-Stockbridge Merger process:
- There will be votes in both Stockbridge and Rochester on November 28th regarding the merger. At this time the Rochester voters will also be voting whether to close the middle/high school grades (which would be necessary for a Rochester-Stockbridge merger). Keep your eye out in your mailbox for a public mailing from the 706 Study Committee summarizing key points of a potential merger. There will be opportunities to learn what a merger means at the following:
- Informational Meeting in Stockbridge Nov. 15, 6pm @ Stockbridge Central School (SCS)
- Merger Question/Answer Session in Stockbridge Nov. 27, 6pm @ SCS
- The committee will also be making copies of the Merger Proposal to have available at select locations (i.e. Town offices, etc), and will have copies available on the 15th. The plan is to have them available at the Town Office for the public (note: they are not there at this time but that is the intent).
