  Olean Schools to Add 15 Minutes to the Student Day This Fall

  Olean City School District Superintendent Dr. Genelle Morris told the Board of Education that the student school day will run 15 minutes longer starting in September, a change tied to the district's new staff collective bargaining agreement. District officials framed the extra time as an opportunity to build in additional instructional or support time across buildings. The change comes as the district also finalized a 2026-27 budget proposal with a modest levy increase. Registration for new students was set for early August ahead of the schedule change taking effect.
