CONSULTANT DAVID HOHENSCHAU on Monday presents the Addison Central School District board his report on a possible next chapter for Ripton Elementary School, which ceased operations as a K-5 school this past summer. The ACSD board on Nov. 24 will take a vote that could pave the way for the property to be reacquired by the town of Ripton.
