Onteora board meets tonight; Shandaken scenic byway meeting postponed

A hearing on the Route 28 Scenic Byway project, scheduled for tonight at 6pm in the Shandaken Town Hall, has been postponed. The byway meeting conflicted with an important Onteora School Board meeting on the reconfiguration of the district's elementary schools, which is expected to draw parents and community members from around the district.

The Onteora School Board meets tonight at 6pm at the Phoenicia Elementary School, which could be closed under one of several reconfiguration options the board is considering. The meeting will be preceded by a public forum at 5:15pm.

Shandaken town officials have not yet set a new date for the byway meeting.
