Dorset policy sparks clash over bus service cuts
At a Dorset School meeting, school board officials and state education reps heard gripes from opponents of a proposed transportation policy that would cut bus routes on unsafe roads. Residents Claude Dern and Jesse Torregrossa argued the plan shifts costs to families and lowers property values, while selectmen defended road upkeep and stressed that final decisions rest with the school board. The meeting led to a review by the state to evaluate safety, routes, and fiscal implications with recommendations due to the district.
