Any news on the vote? Did they vote Yes (transfer) or No (no transfer)?

I just arrived home from the meeting. They voted unanimously to deny the transfer. The petitioners say they will appeal to the state board. Full story in the morning.

Thanks Barbara.

I have mixed feelings about the petition and the vote to deny the transfer. I see merit in making efforts to align school district boundaries closer with the boundaries of towns. But you can't do that without addressing the capacity shortage in MPCSD first.
