The Bennington School District Board voted to back the Mt. Anthony Union School Board in appealing Judge Holden's ruling ordering a reapportionment. The move aims to take the case to the U.S. Second Circuit, with costs estimated at 5 000 to 8 000 dollars, while a Supreme Court appeal could run 25 000 to 50 000 dollars.
