Question of residency rules for Mt. Anthony school board candidates
Attorney William C. Sennett declined to opine on residency requirements for school board candidates. Vermont imposes a one year resident rule, while Mt. Anthony bylaws require six months in the district. A Supreme Court ruling striking down six months for voters may influence candidate eligibility. Lawmaker Harrington plans to run, possibly from outside Woodford, risking a vacancy if he moves before the May 8 election.
