The fact that a district can be shared by two states is very interesting, indeed. I didn't think that it would be possible, because educational standards are dictated at the state level. For example, would the Greenwich students attending Byram Hills schools have to pass NYS Regents exams? With the NYS educational system being bureaucratic enough as it is already, I doubt they'd want to add more such complication into the mix!
I'm guessing that the Greenwich area that falls in the Byram Hills school district is the area near that small stretch of I-684 that dips into Connecticut for less than a mile. I didn't know it was a residential area, though.
