The Lake Placid Central School District Board of Education fielded letters and public comments recently about the district’s decision not to pursue an athletic merger with a local private school. According to the Adirondack Daily Enterprise, the district was approached by Northwood School, a Lake Placid-based private school, last month with a proposal for an athletic merger that would allow day students whose families live in Lake Placid to participate in LPCSD sports. The district declined.
