ARMS/ARHS Consolidation Survey
From the ARPS Website: A community-wide survey is currently available electronically and in paper form in order to collect information from our citizens and families about the possibility of consolidating the Regional Middle and High Schools into a single building. The exploration of this possible consolidation is the result of a significant funding gap at the Regional level, as well as a declining student population. Additionally, the study is the result of questions from the leaders of our four towns about when and whether such consolidation might occur. This survey is currently available online in English here and in Spanish here.
All Amherst, Leverett, Pelham and Shutesbury residents and other interested stakeholders are encouraged to participate in this confidential survey that will be available through Friday, September 2
