If the vote for consolidation passes, Superintendent Sheffield recommends submitting the petition to the state reorganization committee shortly after the meeting. There are a myriad of business items that need to be addressed that will need the new district number. The building and grounds committee met before the meeting to discuss options for the possible EMF elementary (grades K-5) at the Exeter site.
