Residents ask whether Hague can leave Ticonderoga; committee: it’s possible but difficult
Summary
Christina Mueller asked whether Hague could exit the Ticonderoga Central School District; committee members said withdrawal is legally possible but would require agreement by other districts and complex negotiations, so it is not an easy short‑term remedy.
During public comment Christina Mueller asked whether the committee had considered whether Hague could leave the Ticonderoga district and join another district. The committee replied that they had examined options and that withdrawal is legally possible but complex: “The answer is yes. It can be done. Is it easy? No,” the moderator said, noting that mutual agreement from receiving districts and negotiation of terms would be required.
Speakers said the option remains on the table and that the committee has discussed it early in its work. They cautioned residents that withdrawing would be difficult, would likely require legal counsel and state engagement, and would need local organizing and negotiation with potential receiving districts that might welcome additional students.
