Edgemont Board Debates Ten Grade Shift Questionaire Move
Edgemont voters faced two propositions on a special meeting night, both defeated. The district contemplates asking Scarsdale High School to accept tenth grade and perhaps ninth next year, while a district survey will gauge sentiment with no bond or building plans. Dr. Beverly Benson resigns as board president, delaying action until Stuart Updike arrives. Henson and Updike urge him to stay. An executive meeting followed with no firm decision, and notes hint at continued planning and public input.
