District Considering Closing New Cumberland Middle School

Recently, the West Shore School District (WSSD) announced that it was going to close one of the four middle schools in the district.  The two under consideration for closure are New Cumberland Middle School and Lemoyne Middle School.  The school district is holding a public hearing about this proposal on Wednesday, January 16th at 6:00 p.m. at Cedar Cliff High School.  As of right now, I am unsure if the hearing will be streamed live on the web, but usually these types of meetings are.  Check the West Shore School District website on the day of the hearing http://www.wssd.k12.pa.us to see if it will be streamed live on the web.

The findings of the WSSD's Demographics Committee study on this matter was presented at the most recent school board meeting on December 20, 2012.  You can view that presentation at this link http://www.ustream.tv/recorded/27890908.  Please note that the presentation takes place at 14:13 in the video, it's actual run time is only about 15 minutes.  If you want to skip over the actual board presentation and just view the powerpoint presentation itself, you can click here http://www.wssd.k12.pa.us/files/132877/democommittee-dec21.pdf.

  

In the meantime, take a look at the aforementioned presentation about the closure, get to the hearing, and contact the school board members to let your voice be heard.
