After months of controversy, the Central Cambria school board voted to approve a plan to “reconfigure” their two elementary schools. Beginning next year, Jackson Elementary will remain open but will only consist of grades kindergarten thru second grade for those students that reside in Jackson Township. The Cambria Elementary School will consist of kindergarten thru second grade for those students who live in Cambria Township and Ebensburg Borough. All students grades 3-5 who live within the district will report to Cambria Elementary School. Several weeks ago over a hundred community members attended a public meeting with the majority being strongly against the idea of moving students from Jackson to Cambria Elementary.
