To the Editor:
I see the consolidated-community school issue as needing a public forum and I hope you can help. I propose an everybody-into-the-pool set of pages in the newspaper for letters, emails, and texts from the residents of the eight towns with their opinions on the controversy. I feel it needs to happen every week for a month or more. It’s that important!
I know your letter to the Editor column has stuck to one a week, but I feel that this is an overwhelmingly important issue for all in the Oxford Hills area. We fought tooth and nail for our community school in Otisfield years ago. I am 100% (even 200%!) in favor of community schools.
Please give this request consideration.
