The establishment of the Town of Palm Tree is picking up speed.

The superintendent of the Kiryas Joel Union Free School District says the boundary alteration for the school will now become effective July 1, 2019. He also says he will be working with the Monroe-Woodbury School District in the coming months to finalize the details.

This includes working to minimize the impact on taxpayers and any affected students.

This comes after Kiryas Joel proposed to split from the Town of Monroe and became the town of Palm Tree in 2017.
