In case you missed it...

The School Board met last week and discussed the tuition agreement with Oyster River. Dr. Hayes also sent out a newsletter with an update and this is from that newsletter:

We also learned from Dr. Morse that all three communities (Newmarket, Barrington & Deerfield) seeking to tuition students to ORHS are on track to hold special district meetings in October or November to determine their commitment to a tuition agreement with ORCSD. Oyster River would then hold its own special meeting and make its own determination of who to partner with. The superintendents agreed to draft a timeline of steps necessary to achieve these special meetings.

In a nutshell--Newmarket will hold a special vote on this in the Fall. 

Some have complained that Oyster River is dragging this out. But my perspective is that while their situation isn't as dire as Newmarket's, they also have a big decision in front of them which will affect their community for years to come. 

If we do end up tuitioning our students there, at least we will know that the decision was carefully considered by all parties.
