PHILLIPSTON At a special town meeting earlier this year, Phillipston voters instructed the Selectboard to establish a committee to recommend the best way to meet the educational needs of the town’s elementary school students. The vote came in the wake of the town learning that Phllipston Memorial Elementary School would be abandoned by the Narragansett Regional School District as a school for teaching Phillipston students in grades K through 5.
Dan Sandin, who authored the article, explained that committee would weigh any number of alternatives for those students.
