Ivor S. Pelsue of 924 Main St seeks re election to the Bennington village School Board. He warns overcrowding at Bennington High and elementary schools may force double sessions in 1965 66. He favors a union high school and merger of village and rural districts to ease overcrowding and reduce costs. If bond issues fail, he supports retaining the union or pursuing a site for a new elementary school.

Fleming favors local control, opposes union high school arrangements, and stresses ongoing learning and better facilities for education.
Dr James Shea of 203 Grandview St outlines four reasons for seeking a Bennington village school board seat. He argues for regionalization and state aid to reduce overcrowding, raise teacher pay, and improve working conditions.
