Career exploration helps students see a world of possibilities
Along with helping our students gain essential knowledge and skills, we offer a host of opportunities throughout the school year designed to spark their interests in new career pathways.
Here are just a few of the ways our students have been exploring “a world of possibilities” this school year:
Touring today’s in-demand jobs
NYS Department of Labor was on campus earlier this year, offering our students a virtual tour through some of today’s in-demand jobs and emerging industries—from manufacturing and construction to healthcare and finance. This led to some great conversations with our high schoolers about future learning and careers!
Law and order
A group of our seniors recently attended the Women in Law program at the Onondaga County Courthouse in Syracuse. Hosted by the Women’s Bar Association of the State of New York, the program brought students and legal professionals together to introduce young women to the various professions in the field of law and promote the advancement of women in the legal professions.
Cultivating leaders
At the Cooperstown Central School’s 10th Annual Student-Athlete Leadership Conference, our student-athletes learned that leadership is an essential skill—in all aspects of life and on the track, field and court. Students had the chance to attend workshops about redefining success (it’s not all about winning!), self-care, and leadership with their teams/teammates, in their schools and community.
Inspiring the next generation of teachers
Students curious about a career in education participated in a two-day teacher recruitment workshop at Fort Plain Jr./Sr. High School, led by members of our high school teaching team and designed to inspire and inform students about the rewards and impact they can have as teachers.
Women in the skilled trades
Career and technical education offers students a chance to train for jobs and careers in a host of skilled trades. Many of our high schoolers follow this course of study with our partner HFM BOCES and in-house through our welding pathway program. This March, Fort Plain students joined their peers from around the region for an event focused on women in the trades, offering them the chance to “see themselves” in the many career pathways offered through the BOCES.
Canajoharie and Fort Plain residents vote against merger in straw poll
Voters in the Canajoharie and Fort Plain central school districts put an end to the merger process Thursday, March 6, by voting against the merger in an advisory referendum/straw poll vote.
The measure was rejected with a vote of 318 to 286 in Canajoharie and 206 to 191 in Fort Plain.
The boards of education now have one year to revisit the question of a merger and put the question to the community for a revote if they choose to do so. After that time, a new study would be needed if the districts wish to reconsider a potential merger.
Canajoharie Superintendent Dr. Nick Fitzgerald and Fort Plain Superintendent Lauren Crisman wish to thank all who voted in the straw poll. They also thank the districts’ boards of education, members of the Merger Advisory Committee and members of the two communities who gave generously of their time and thoughtful input during merger study meetings, in surveys and during forums on the potential merger.
Despite the outcome of the poll, the superintendents said the merger study and community feedback throughout the process have provided input that will be valuable as the districts continue to look for ways to work together for the betterment of their students.

Amy Bartholomew appointed as Harry Hoag Principal
On Wednesday, Feb 5, 2025, the Fort Plain Board of Education voted to appoint Amy Bartholomew to the position of principal of Harry Hoag Elementary School.
Amy Bartholomew has been working as the Acting Principal of Harry Hoag since July 2024. Her recent completion of a Certificate of Advanced Study in Educational Leadership allowed the board to consider making her appointment as the elementary school’s principal permanent.
“It has been a pleasure to mentor such a wonderful, qualified leadership candidate,” said Superintendent Lauren Crisman. “Throughout the fall, while completing her administrative internship, Mrs. Bartholomew led Harry Hoag as its acting principal with integrity and demonstrated that she had the competencies required of a school building leader. The Board of Education and I are excited to officially announce her appointment to the role of Elementary Principal. Harry Hoag students and faculty are in good hands.”
“I am incredibly honored to officially step into the role of Elementary Principal at Harry Hoag,” added Amy Bartholomew. “Being able to serve in the community where I grew up is truly a privilege, and I’m deeply grateful to the Board of Education and Superintendent Crisman for their trust in me.”
“The past several months have been a truly rewarding experience. I am so fortunate to work alongside the best teachers and staff who are so dedicated to our students’ success,” Bartholomew continued. “As someone who has known many of our families for years, it’s especially meaningful to strengthen these close relationships. The work we’re doing together is something I’m incredibly proud of, and I look forward to the opportunities ahead to ensure every child has the chance to thrive in a nurturing, supportive environment.”

Winter weather and school closings and delays
Learn how Fort Plain CSD makes decisions regarding weather-related closings and delays.
Dear Fort Plain CSD community:
The decision on whether or not to close or delay is a complicated one.
At Fort Plain CSD, we consider the travel conditions and our ability to open the buildings safely. We coordinate with the building and grounds and transportation departments, local road service teams and we consider the safety of everyone when making the decision.
In all situations, we try to give early notice of any changes. Many family systems rely on the stability of the school schedule to function (i.e. parents need the students to go to school in order to get to their place of employment on time.)
At this point in time, we do not intend to delay the start of the school day based solely on the forecasted cold temperatures. If there are other safety or weather related factors that arise, that decision may change.
As we continue to experience winter weather, we would like to share a few friendly reminders:
- The buildings open for early arrival at 7:30 am.
- We will not have any outdoor recess on days when the temperature is extremely low.
- Please make sure that students wear coats, hats, gloves, scarves, and any other necessary layers to stay warm while waiting for their pick-up and dismissal transportation.
- Please remind your child to avoid waiting outside too early for the bus. Our drivers will give extended wait times when the temperature is extremely low to allow students to wait inside before bus pick up.
- If you need assistance securing winter gear for your child, please contact your child’s homeroom teacher or a school counselor. We have care closets in both buildings that can help to provide winter essentials as needed.
Thank you for your cooperation to keep all of our students safe in the months ahead.
Sincerely,
Mrs. Crisman
Merger Feasibility Study update, upcoming “straw vote” set
Dear Community Members,
At the Jan. 16, 2025 joint Canajoharie and Fort Plain CSD Board of Education Meeting, action was taken to continue to seek community input regarding a potential school merger.
Both communities will now hold a non-binding Straw Vote on March 6, 2025 to learn if there is community support for a merger.
Additional details will be forthcoming about the time and location for voting.
Learn more about the Merger Feasibility Study at upcoming forums
Prior to casting a vote, we invite you to participate in one of several community forums to learn more about the recent Feasibility Study and the proposed school merger. Your voices are critical in shaping the direction of this important decision. At the forums you will be able to ask questions and engage in a meaningful discussion about the future of education in our two communities.
Forum dates and locations
- Tuesday, January 28, 2025 at 6 p.m. in the Fort Plain/Harry Hoag Elementary School Cafeteria
- Monday, February 10, 2025 at 6 p.m. in the Canajoharie High School Cafeteria
- Wednesday, February 26, 2025 at 6 p.m. Virtual Meeting
Join the virtual meeting at this link.
During these forums, you will:
- Learn about potential opportunities and advantages a merger could provide for students.
- Understand the challenges facing both school districts.
- Be able to ask questions.
We encourage everyone — parents, students, teachers, staff and community members — to attend one of the forums.
