The Temple Select Board’s unanimous vote to postpone Town Meeting and ballot voting until June leaves Temple as the sole ConVal town to defer voting on the school district warrant.
The remainder of the nine towns which make up the ConVal district are scheduled to vote on the school warrant on March 9. On Monday night, Temple’s Select Board voted to reschedule voting on the school warrant and local officials to June 8 and to defer their Town Meeting to June 12. Legal review is ongoing, Select Board member Bill Ezell said, but Temple interpreted the wording of the Governor’s executive order to mean they could postpone voting for their school district’s warrant as well as town-specific items. In the instance that Temple learns the law does, in fact, require the town to vote on the school warrant on March 9, “we are going to protest loudly,” he said.
