Conewango Moves Toward Jointure to Expand School System
The Conewango Township school board voted to notify the consolidation committee, the Warren school board, and the county superintendent that it favors a jointure plan. Warren currently serves nearby townships but space shortages will end this option next year, prompting consideration of Beaty school addition and a consolidated high school within five years. The board accepted Warren City Lines transportation bids for three years and scheduled an open house on the first school day in September to showcase North Warren improvements.
