Residents must understand concept of regional district
This letter is in response to Rita Horowitz’s letter of Feb. 27, 2002. She says that "we do not want to buy homes ... and have our children yanked out of our community school system to be placed in a different school system." The children are not being placed in a different school system.
Our community school systems are primary systems. We all belong to a regional high school district, and we all knew that when we bought our homes.
Part and parcel of being in a regional district is that your children may attend any school in the district. She says that under her plan "no one will have to be switched or pulled from one district to another."
The children are not being switched from one district to another — it is all the same district. The problem is that these people refuse to accept that they moved into a regional district. As an aside, maybe the schools should not be named for the towns in which they are situated.
