Typical of the NM school committee. Their "solution" to the financial problems of the 3 towns is "Let's build a new school!" And, since we already have trouble paying the school costs with three towns, let's bring in a fourth and see how that works. Where do we get these people?

Did you have to bring that up? But, you're right. Also consider that the debt service on the unneeded school Pepperell just built is almost twice the deficit that the Pepperell fincom is trying to offset. Actually, thanks for bringing it up. If we really care about our children and our community we need to stay awake.
