I was asked to facilitate a conversation with the Regional Planning Committee about potential changes from an AOS (Alternative Organization Structure) to a RSU (Regional School Unit).

I sat down with Becky Keefe, Jessica Stewart and Susan Allen for a wide-ranging discussion.

Some of the questions that were asked and answered about any potential reorganization

  • Why makes these big changes?
  • Where do things stand now?
  • Who is paying for Conners Emerson?
  • Advantages for sports, athletics and extracurriculars?
  • What about Busing?
  • What about school choice for those communities that currently have school choice?
