Board begins planning for possible tax-cap and consolidation votes
What happened
The board adopted a 2026-27 goal directing the board and superintendent to develop a position and communications plan for a possible November 2026 school tax-cap vote and a possible vote to reorganize the district as a town department.
Why it matters to families
Either vote could materially change how the district is governed or constrained financially. The board described the legal and practical details as still unsettled, so this is planning rather than a completed governance change.
The evidence
At its August 25 meeting, the board adopted the goal 7-0. The recorded language names a possible November 2026 tax-cap vote and a possible consolidation vote; it does not say that either outcome has been decided.
