Salem CSD to leave Adirondack League after 2025-2026 school year

SALEM — Salem Central School District will leave the Adirondack League at the conclusion of the 2025-2026 school year as the district continues its long-standing merged athletic partnership with Cambridge Central School District.

Superintendent Julie Collier said the decision stems from the challenges of meeting the obligations of two leagues while most of Salem’s merged athletic teams compete with Cambridge, a member of the Wasaren League.

“We value the years of competition within the Adirondack League and the opportunity to compete in non-league contests against their respective districts. We look forward to the new opportunities that are open to Salem’s student-athletes in the future,” Collier said.

Salem will pursue independent status for the 2026-2027 school year. The district will remain on any Adirondack League schedules that were finalized before the change, but those contests will be considered non-league games.

The 26 Salem athletic teams that are merged with Cambridge will compete in the Wasaren League. The district will also consider possible membership in the Wasaren League for future years, including the 2027-2028 school year.

“Our merged sports teams have grown significantly over the years, and Cambridge has proven to be an excellent partner for Salem. Our students work well together and benefit from opportunities to participate in a broader range of sports than either district could offer independently,” Collier said.

Salem CSD had been a member of the Adirondack League, while Cambridge CSD belongs to the Wasaren League. The districts began merging athletic programs in 2016, shortly after changes made it easier for small schools to combine teams.

At the start of the partnership, only a limited number of teams were merged. Declining enrollment has since led both districts to expand the number of shared sports programs. Today, Salem and Cambridge share 26 teams across the fall, winter and spring seasons, with all but eight of those teams competing in the Wasaren League during the 2025-2026 school year.

Collier said Salem also regularly collaborates with Greenwich CSD, Cambridge CSD and, beginning next year, Hoosick Falls CSD, all of which are members of the Wasaren League.

Cambridge and Greenwich both border Salem, and Wasaren League schools are generally closer to Salem than many Adirondack League schools, which district officials said could reduce transportation time and costs.

“The proximity of these districts is important, it allows our student-athletes to spend less time traveling and more time focusing on academics, athletics, and family,” Collier said.

Salem is expected to discuss future league membership at upcoming board meetings. Those meetings will include an opportunity for public comment.

Hoosick man charged with felony drug possession; deceased dog found during search warrant ex*****on

HOOSICK — A Hoosick man was arrested on felony drug charges Wednesday evening after members of the Rensselaer County Sheriff’s Office executed a search warrant at a Depot Road residence and discovered suspected co***ne and drug paraphernalia inside the home, authorities said.

According to the Sheriff’s Office, deputies executed the warrant at 5 Depot Road at approximately 6 p.m. Feb. 18. The warrant was carried out by the Sheriff’s Office Emergency Services Unit with assistance from patrol deputies.

During the search, deputies located suspected narcotics that field-tested positive for co***ne, along with scales and U.S. currency. The items were determined to be in the possession of Kevin T. Klebbe, 38, whose date of birth is listed as Nov. 1, 1987.

While conducting the search of the residence, deputies also discovered a deceased canine locked outside the structure. Authorities said the animal appeared to be severely underweight. At the time of the search, outside temperatures were approximately 25 degrees.

A second canine was located on the property in what officials described as unsafe conditions. The living dog was transferred to the custody of the Hoosick town animal control officer. The deceased animal was also taken into custody.

The Rensselaer County District Attorney’s Office has been notified and has requested an autopsy of the deceased animal. Additional charges may be filed pending the results of that examination.

Klebbe was charged with Criminal Possession of a Controlled Substance in the Third Degree, a Class B felony; Criminal Possession of a Controlled Substance in the Fourth Degree, a Class C felony; and Criminally Using Drug Paraphernalia in the Second Degree, a Class A misdemeanor.

He was processed at the Rensselaer County Sheriff’s Office without incident and transported to Hoosick Falls Village Court for arraignment. Authorities said he was released on electronic monitoring and is scheduled to return to court March 26.

The Sheriff’s Office acknowledged assistance from the Troy Police Department, the Bennington County Sheriff’s Department and the National Guard Counter Drug Task Force during the ex*****on of the warrant. Albany Medical Center personnel, identified as Dr. Hayashi and Dr. Helstein, were also on standby in the event of an emergency.

“Our Drug Task Force did an outstanding job identifying, investigating and ultimately arresting Mr. Klebbe. Great job to the Rensselaer County Sheriff’s Office DTF, ESU, deputies, and all the other agencies that participated, making this a seamless search warrant ex*****on,” Sheriff Kyle Bourgault said in a statement.
