Spite cited in Attleboro school residency dispute
Attleboro residents contend James Cummings and his family are legal residents who should attend Attleboro schools. The dispute began after a city council debate and a legal opinion by the city solicitor, who indicated schooling hinges on maintaining Attleboro residence. Cummings, who lives near Rehoboth, also fights bootlegging activity near his farm. The case remains unresolved, with the courts to decide if Cummings qualifies for Attleboro residency.
