Cuba-Rushford expected to decide of Rushford campus tonight

The Cuba-Rushford school district is expected to vote tonight on whether or not to close its Rushford campus. The measure is being considered in an attempt to close a multi-million budget gap. An alternate option would include cutting most music and sports programs. The issue has struck a nerve in the two communities. About 75 students would be impacted if the Rushford campus closes. Administrators appear to be leaning toward the building closure as the most effective way to ease the fiscal troubles.

Cuba-Rushford school board meets tonight...facing $2.6 million budget gap

The Cuba-Rushford school board will hold an open work session tonight. The district is facing a $2.6 million budget gap and tonight the board will again consider options. Like Olean, Cuba-Rushford is facing the possibility of closing a building. Parents were not thrilled when they learned that the Board may authorize the closure of the Rushford elementary campus.  The session will begin at 6:30pm at the high school board room.
