Before you get too excited about solving Washington's need for a new elementary school by creating a new regional elementary school, perhaps town voting should be involved.
We moved from Pennsylvania to Connecticut, changing jobs, because of the school situation.
We rented in New Milford until we could buy a house in Bridgewater or Roxbury, where our children could walk to school and enjoy nearby playmates.
We strongly believed this would help their development and life achievements.
Ray and I both had enjoyed this freedom while growing up in a small New Jersey community.
Railroad tracks there separated the town so there were elementary schools north of the tracks and south of the tracks.
Let's have Roxbury and Bridgewater vote on this situation. We may wish to join another town's elementary school.
I am 90 but am interested in school issues and how their expenditures affect our retired income.
