BCHS Closing Costs Revised By Superintendent Kelley
Superintendent Howard F. Kelley updated the Bennington Catholic High School closing cost estimate, raising the retroactive state aid loss to 150000 dollars based on September enrollment. The Mt. Anthony union across six districts faces about 200000 dollars in retroactive aid, with the Miller reform possibly boosting Bennington under more generous aid for progressive districts.
