PUTTING MORE STUDENTS IN AGING HIGH SCHOOL NOT SUSTAINABLE, SCHOOL BOARD CHAIR SAYS—Potsdam School Board President Christopher Cowen said last night in a discussion of possibly moving grades 7 and 8 to the 1929 building, that if grades are moved in order to save money, it should be to the 1970's-era middle school instead. The board and staff are coping with a draft budget with a 1.2 million-dollar deficit.
