BBS Status in Peril By State Board Action
Burr and Burton Seminary in Manchester faced renewed scrutiny as the state Board of Education dropped three small high schools from approved status for failing to meet minimum standards. Groton High, McIndoes Academy, and Shoreham High were not approved as of July 1 and risked closure, while BBS received no waiver and had its deadline deferred to June 19 for a site visit in Bennington.
