The CAM School Board is moving forward with tentative plans for an addition to the Massena Elementary School to help ease overcrowding. Board Secretary Linda Edwards said they approved the plan as presented by Snyder and Associates Engineers. She said they are moving forward with the bid process, since the goal is to be in the building by next fall.

The plan tentatively calls for a 40-by 80-foot expansion of the four-year old preschool and music room. The Board, in their brief meeting, also approved revisions to, and adopted, a Parent and Family Engagement Policy.

The policy was reworded to say “Parent and family engagement is an important component of students’ success in school. The Board encourages parents and families to become involved in their children’s education to ensure the child’s academic success.” The wording adds “and family involvement”, instead of just “parental.”
