POSTPONED: Public Forum on Amherst Regional School District

UPDATE 2/29/12: The Regional School District Planning Committee (RSDPC) public forum scheduled for tonight at 7:00 p.m. at Amherst Town Hall has been canceled in anticipation of the winter storm.  The forum will be rescheduled at a later date. 

-------------
On February 29 at 7 p.m. the Regional School District Planning Committee ( RSDPC) will hold a public forum in the Town Room at Town Hall. The committee was formed to consider whether Amherst should join with one or more towns in a regional K-6 district. The forum’s purpose is to gather community thoughts and questions regarding a possible change to the governance structure of our schools.

The information gathered at the forum will be used to identify community concerns and questions. This will assure that the RSDPC considers matters important to Amherst. In the Fall, the committee will hold a second forum to present its findings.  For those unable to attend the forum on the 29, the committee has a website with additional information and email address where community members can send questions and concerns.  The website is: amherstma.gov/rsdpc
