Public Forum on Consolidation/Regionalization - March 2, 2011

On March 2, 2011 a public forum was held at Butterfield Elementary School in Orange.  The purpose of this event was to update our communities on the three school district central office consolidation as it has been voted unanimously by our school committees to take effect on July 1, 2011.  This video opens with a presentation by Massachusetts Association of Regional Schools Consultant, Ken Rocke, who provides a  our progress to date and plans moving forward.

At the conclusion of Mr. Rocke's presentation I, along with Superintendents Burnim, Martin, and Regionalization Planning Committee Chair, Michael LeBlanc took questions from those who attended.  Much thanks to Orange Town Administrator, Rick Kwiatkowski for facilitating the question/answer portion. 

This event was aired on AOTV.
