SOUTH DEERFIELD Three of the four local boards of health approved a motion this week for the Frontier and Union 38 regional school districts to remain in remote learning through Jan. 8.
As Conway’s Board of Health did not have a quorum, a separate meeting will be held to vote on the motion.
The vote followed a discussion by members of the Sunderland, Deerfield, Whately and Conway boards of health at a joint meeting Tuesday night. The discussion began with a recommendation from Deerfield Board of Health member Carolyn Shores Ness to resume remote learning on Jan. 4 and to resume hybrid learning on Jan. 7.

SOUTH DEERFIELD The Frontier Regional School Committee is $200,000 over budget when it comes to resurfacing its track and will have to come up with funding sources to make up the difference.
The committee voted last week to appropriate $100,000 in excess and deficiency funds to cover half the amount, though another $100,000 remains.
“We have saved up School Choice money and will likely be using that to pay for the difference,” explained Shelley Poreda, the business administrator for the Frontier and Union 38 regional school districts. School Choice money is paid by municipalities to send their children to school is other districts.
