The Allegany County Board of Education held a work session Tuesday evening, and heard from a consultant on school facilities and possible redistricting.

 Chris Hodges is the Founder and Chairman of Facilities Engineering Associates, and gave an overview of what his company looks at in formulating a recommendation…

  

 Hodges said that while there are some building operating at or near capacity, each of the three regions of the county has the additional capacity of the equivalent of one elementary school per region.

 Hodges will be meeting with the Blue Ribbon Commission on Redistricting, and the full School Board in the coming months before formulating recommendations, which could include closing some elementary schools.
