• Onteora school propositions approved by wide margins (dailyfreeman.com) — Onteora voters have approved two capital propositions totaling $41.9 million, clearing the way for a single K–12 campus centered on Bennett and the middle/high school and long-term savings tied to closing Woodstock Elementary School. For Woodstock families, this means planning for the elementary school’s eventual closure by 2028 and understanding how grades will shift, facilities will be upgraded, and district finances will change over the next 18 years.
