Addition plan for high school defeats finance committee proposal
Voters in a special town meeting approved funds for immediate repairs and alterations to the high school but rejected the finance committee plan for a new addition. The session favored the committee's alternative study, proposing no new gymnasium and guiding alterations to a 1947 plan. The debate highlighted opposition to a new high school and support for limited work on the existing facility.
