State Board hears complaints on Danby schools
Danby H Hoff and state Board of Education members heard Supt. Vail describe the district’s three schools as among the worst. Four Corners School lacked proper facilities with water carried in milk cans for toilets, while Scottsville School for 8th grade is so crowded visitors cannot enter. Danby Borough School is over 150 years old and deteriorating. A new state law allows town eligibility for 30 percent state aid on Currier’s gift, changing prior limits.
