White & Partners LLC will hold stakeholder meetings with both communities
From CA BOCES,
The Cattaraugus-Allegany BOCES Board of Education voted at its October 27, 2026, meeting to approve White & Partners LLC to conduct a feasibility study examining the potential centralization of the Andover and Whitesville Central School Districts.
The approval follows a competitive Request for Proposals (RFP) process administered by CA BOCES on behalf of the two school districts. Five proposals were received and reviewed by a selection committee, which determined that White & Partners LLC best met the requirements outlined in the RFP.
The feasibility study will provide both school districts and their communities with information to better understand the educational, operational, and financial considerations associated with a potential centralization.
In the coming weeks, representatives from White & Partners LLC will begin meeting with stakeholders in both the Andover and Whitesville communities. These conversations will provide opportunities to gather input, understand local perspectives, and help inform the study’s findings.
The study is intended to support an informed discussion about the future of both school districts. The approval of the feasibility study does not represent a decision to centralize the districts. Any future decisions regarding centralization would involve additional review and the processes required by the New York State Education Department.
CA BOCES will continue to work collaboratively with both districts throughout the study process.
