The second question, related to authorizing funding for making deferred capital improvements at the junior high school and changes to the configuration of the junior high schools to facilitate the creation of a true middle school, has been removed. Residents will receive by mail an explanation for the change from Amity Regional School District No. 5. The Board of Education anticipates that it will be in a position to place this question before voters within the next few months.
Enrollment is projected to continue to grow for the foreseeable future.
A Committee on which I served appointed by the Board of Education studied this problem for most of last year. Whether you vote yes or no is not as important as that you vote to show that parents are interested in decisions that are made affecting education. Voting will take place from 6 a.m. to 8 p.m. in the usual polling place in each district town. Both added to our general operating fund, which benefits the school, teachers, staff and students. I will advise you of the net amount realized in my next update.
