Letters to the Editor

To the Editor,
Thank you for bringing attention to the Readsboro Central School. While your article made note of how one particular parent wants a better education for her child, we think your story genuinely lacked any sort of justice to Readsboro and the attention the school actually...
To the Editor,
To Readsboro residents: As you are aware, there was a petition submitted to initiate a vote to close our school. There were 41 signatures signed on, representing  a cross section of residents. Just because they signed  does not mean they are voting to close. There are people...
To the Editor,
I’ve represented Dover as a school board director for five years.  It’s been an honor to serve the River Valleys School District and I hope you will give me the opportunity to continue to serve.

To the Editor,
