Moretown School Update, March 11

Mrs. Dow reading and discussing the Math behind the Magic!  

Dear Moretown School Families,

ACT 46 Update

      While presidential candidates and debates are on much of the national conversation, school board consolidation is a significant topic locally. The vote for school board consolidation is now slated for June 7, 2016.    Information about ACT 46 (school consolidation) can be found at wwsu.org.   Public forums exploring consolidation are slated for  March 31st @ Harwood, April 27th @ Harwood; two more dates are tentatively planned on May 11 at Thatcher Brook and May 25th at the Big Picture. This vote will have significant impact upon the future sustainability of all of our local schools.   I encourage you to ask questions (of me or your school board members), attend a forum, and be informed on this issue-- and encourage all of your friends and neighbors to do the same.
