Orange County May Be Given Opportunity To Get School
New York state plans eight new normal schools in the near future with Orange County communities vying for a southern location. The State Commissioner of Education will decide the site, while New Paltz faces criticism over water, rail access, and village- school tax arrangements. Cities along the Erie line such as Middletown and Newburgh are expected bidders, with White Plains already offering a site. The presence of a normal school boosts local growth, as seen in New Paris with students, staff, and boarding houses.
