District Directors Propose Shared Shop Access Policy
Union High School District No 14 outlines a policy to share machine shop access with Bennington Catholic High School students at Bennington High School or via BCHS students enrolling in union shop courses. The plan limits the machine shop to 15 students, screened by identical prerequisites, with space allocated by a lottery among qualified applicants. The policy aims to resolve a long running dispute over the 1957 gentlemen's agreement and seeks public endorsement while noting BCHS residents outside the union district may be treated differently.

Gov Hoff said the 3.5 million Rutland Railway bill likely will be signed tomorrow to let the state buy its right of way and trackage after federal permission to abandon.
