Raymond's Lamprey River Elementary School was evacuated twice this week over safety concerns. Students were moved out of the school so snow could be safely removed from the roof, which apparently was in danger of caving in. No one can deny the fact that these articles never would have been put on the ballots if everybody thought the present schools were acceptable. The town elections provided no solutions to these problems. These towns are all in the same positions they were in before the election many students are without a kindergarten, and many students attend school in buildings that are overcrowded and in need of repair or replacement.
Kindergarten needs to be instituted.
Voters may have thought they were saving money. They thought wrong. The vote against education was a vote against progress, which, we believe will ultimately prove to be more costly.
