Newcomb magnet school aims to revive town’s fortunes
Newcomb, once hollowed by a mine shutdown in 1989, teraz faces survival via a state inspired magnet program. Superintendent Kearns leads a plan centering Adirondack ecology, logging and tourism with five boarding students, a dormitory envisioned for about 30, and a college level course in ecology. The program partners with the State University research center in Syracuse and features field trips to Lake George and the Hudson River aboard the Sloop Clearwater. State officials remain skeptical about small districts’ resources and the high per pupil cost of about $30,000 versus larger districts.
