ROCHESTER, N.Y. — Parents in the Gananda Central School District are expressing their frustrations regarding a proposed sports merger with Marion Schools, driven by declining enrollment numbers. During a recent school board meeting, concerned parents raised their voices against the merger, fearing it could diminish the quality of their children's athletic programs and overall school spirit.
Many parents believe that merging sports teams could lead to a loss of identity for Gananda, as they worry that their students may not receive the same level of attention and support in a larger, combined program. The district has cited financial constraints and the need to maintain competitive sports offerings as reasons for considering the merger.
Parents are urging the school board to explore alternative solutions that could bolster enrollment and support existing sports programs without resorting to a merger. The discussion highlights the ongoing challenges faced by rural school districts in maintaining robust extracurricular activities amid shifting demographics. The school board is expected to continue deliberating on this contentious issue in the coming weeks.
