Fund controversy mars orderly MAU at Mt Anthony board
Mt Anthony Union School directors debated handling funds raised by the Bennington Redemption Center for the Bennington Program. Lawrence Harrington pressed for periodic transfers to cover a $13,000 teacher cost, while center directors favored keeping control until June.
