ConVal officials, residents cite concern over charter schools
Opponents of the district’s reconfiguration plan have also cited charter schools as a reason for their opposition. During a reconfiguration hearing in February, former state legislator Gordon Allen of Antrim said, “We have a concerted and well-funded effort in this state, and around the country, to destroy public education. If you want to see a downward spiral of public education, [closing elementary schools] is providing a great opportunity for that to happen.”
