WESTMINSTER â The chairman of the Windham Northeast Unified Union Elementary School Board told Westminster residents Tuesday night that the dissolution of the merged elementary school district was not without its potential legal problems.
Jack Bryar of Grafton, chairman of the merged elementary school district, said that because the state Board of Education forced Westminster, Grafton and Athens to merge back in 2018, itâs not clear that the section of state law that other town school districts are using applies.
The key, Bryar told a special informational meeting Tuesday night held via Zoom, is that the three towns did not vote to form the union, which was a condition of the older law.
