Why hasnt the Twin Valley Board sought to establish a unionized school district before the two towns join together on this construction joint venture?
At present, the challenges to establish a unionized school district are greater than the challenges of finding a solution to the facilities issue. The process to achieve middle school and high school collaboration between Whitingham and Wilmington required a significant period of time to establish. It is likely that the inclusion of more towns into a unionized school district would take even more time, all the while the facilities issue requires immediate attention. Attempts have already been made to contact the surrounding towns regarding a unionized school district. Some towns have expressed an interest, some would like to see the facilities issue resolved, and some are not willing to give up the opportunity to be able to choose which school their children will attend.
