The Board of Education Monday voted 8-0 to accept a purchase offer from an East Syracuse developer for the sale of the vacant Main Street School for conversion to affordable senior housing.
Without discussion, the board voted to sell the iconic, historic school to Lakewood Development/Two Plus Four Construction for $600,000.
Before the vote, Susan B. Kimmel, president of Two Plus Four Construction Management Company, told the board its plans, if the sale is finalized.

She said there would be 28 one-bedroom units and four two-bedroom handicapped adaptable apartments.
