2012-2013 Restructuring
[edit]Olean City School District was restructured for the 2012–2013 school year due to the State of New York imposing a maximum property tax increase beginning in 2012. This caused major school changes:
- Olean High School was changed to an 8-12 school.
- Boardmanville Elementary School was closed.
- Ivers J. Norton Elementary School was closed.
- Olean Middle School was renamed "Olean Intermediate-Middle School," and became an intermediate school for grades 4–7.
