WESTMINSTER â Four years of acrimony, distrust and anger over Act 46 in this town ended Wednesday with a unanimous vote by the Vermont Board of Education, approving Westminsterâs plan to reestablish its own school district.
During a virtual meeting, the board heard from Westminster Town Moderator David Major about the townâs plans to re-establish its school district and resume what it had for generations â a community-focused school system for grades kindergarten through eighth grade.
There was nary a mention of Act 46, the state law that generated all the anger and anxiety, in which the state Board of Education in 2018 forced Westminster into an educational marriage with the towns of Grafton and Athens, against everybodyâs desires.
What is Polygamy?
Polygamy is the practice or custom of having more than one wife or husband at the same time. Polygamy can be classified into two forms polyandry and polygyny. Polygyny is the practice of having more than one wife or female partner at a time, while polyandry is the practice of having more than one husband or male partner at one time. Polygamy encompasses bigamy too. Bigamy refers to marrying one person while still being legally married to another. All bigamists are essentially polygamists, while not all polygamists are bigamists, as they can have over two partners.
