McConnell said that the district will now move forward with reopening Central School, reducing class sizes and adding a full-day kindergarten program.

In a Q&A with Patch, McConnell said that work on Central would take the majority of the next school year. The district plans to start students at Central for the 2022-23 school year, and it would house grades 4-5. Full-day kindergarten would also begin in fall of 2022 as well.

"We would like to thank everyone who took part in this process, including those who provided us with their feedback and input over the past several months," McConnell said. "We have proposed the plans, and now that the referendum is approved, let’s begin the work of creating the future of District 113A!"
