Video series addresses key merger topics

Fort Plain and Canajoharie Central School Districts are exploring a merger. A non-binding straw poll vote to gauge community support for a merger will be held on Thursday, June 4, 2026 in each school district.

Topics include:

• Operational Planning (release date 5/11)

• Understanding School Finances (release date 5/20)
• Student Centered Transitions (release date 5/26)
• Staff Centered Transitions (release date 5/28)
