Throughout the twentieth century the district adjusted to demographic shifts associated with military changes at Plattsburgh Air Force Base and transportation changes tied to U.S. Route 9 and regional railroads such as the Delaware and Hudson Railway. Facilities and curriculum evolved in response to federal programs inspired by the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965 and later accountability measures similar to those under the No Child Left Behind Act and the Every Student Succeeds Act.
