I love the notion that Albany is "centrally located." To most of NYC, anything outside of NYC might as well not exist...and to most of WNY, Albany is pretty much NYC in terms of getting there.

Three hours from Rochester works if you're already in Rochester, but the geography of WNY is such that you often can't "get there from here" in anything approaching a straight line.

I like the idea of districts for NY, but only if it will decrease our expenses per play, not increase them. We can afford FLR because we don't have to stay overnight.

(And before people say, "well just raise more funds," we are limited to exactly two (2) fundraisers a year by our school, and run the most successful fundraisers of any school group, pulling in about $3K a year. I don't think most people have a good appreciation for just how tiny many of the towns in WNY are--we're not terribly atypical with 650 kids K-12 in a district five times larger (geographically) than Manhattan.)

So, I like the idea. But it concerns me.
