District to review cost-saving ideas

March 21, 2012

BROADALBIN - Broadalbin-Perth Central School District Superintendent Stephen Tomlinson will present residents with ideas on how the district can best operate with limited resources.

The talk will be held at 6:30 p.m. today in the high school cafeteria. Previously, the session had been scheduled for 6 p.m.

Tomlinson said the school can consider changing the school-day schedule, using more distance learning, replace outdated courses with more relevant ones, restructuring the athletic department and investing in technology, according to a news release.

"The bottom line is we need to rethink everything we currently do and reimagine what a 21st-century educational program at Broadalbin-Perth could accomplish if we shift gears strategically," he said in the release.

The district is looking for feedback as well as volunteers to serve on two committees. One will explore the possibility of reorganizing the district's buildings into one elementary and one secondary site, and the other will consider alternative-energy options, the release said.
