District news
District lists its lower field for sale
What happened
The board declared the district's "lower field" lots in town surplus in November 2025 and approved listing them with a realtor in December. The superintendent reported in January 2026 that the land was appraised at $338,000 and listed for $425,000.
Why it matters to families
Selling school land is a one-time decision that can bring in money but cannot easily be undone. At a December public hearing, one resident opposed turning the field at the town's entrance into housing. Talks with a possible buyer were continuing in summer 2026.

The January 27, 2026 minutes include the superintendent's report with the appraisal and listing price, and executive sessions on the sale. Earlier minutes record the surplus vote and the hearing.
