Georgetown Truant Case Tests School Board Duties
A Bath Maine hearing before Judge Dunton examined the Georgetown truancy dispute rooted in assigned district attendance. Evidence showed road conditions and long-standing practice shaped where children should attend, with testimony from Thomas Jones and school officials supporting Riggsville as the proper site. The defense argued lack of formal district records and questioned board processes, while the judge noted the board’s investigatory role and allowed trial to continue.
