Tenth Grade to Stay at Edgemont for Next Year
The Edgemont school board voted unanimously to keep the 10th grade at Edgemont next year instead of sending them to Scarsdale High School. Moving students would cost about 14 500 plus transport, making a one year transfer impractical. The plan relies on a new primary school west of Central Ave due by Sept 1950 to free space. The board set a Feb 10 meeting in the Edgemont library.
