In the article above the Keene Sentinel reports that there is talk of Winchester joining the New Hampshire Administrative Unit 29. This would allow Winchester to be included in discussion with Keene High School, where our high school students are attending. At present, our School Board does not have a lot of say in the discussions.
“...Until recently, both Winchester and Surry were part of Unit 38, with the Hinsdale and Monadnock Regional districts. Surry withdrew as part of a court settlement earlier this year; last month Hinsdale and Monadnock voters approved withdrawing, and Winchester residents will vote on leaving in December…”
According the Winchester School website, there is a School Board meeting this coming Thursday night at 7:00 PM to discuss further possibilities. On TUESDAY, DECEMBER 7th, the Town has the opportunity to vote on the WITHDRAWAL from SAU 38. Voting will be held at Town Hall from 8:00 AM until 7:00 PM.

Either people are not aware of this, don't care or have no opinion.
As a parent, I hope that our Board of Education decides to join SAU 29.
If our children are going to attend Keene High School (which I hope they continue to do), then it is important that our students are studying the same curriculum and our board can have a "say" in their education in Keene.
Come on parents we have been given the opportunity to discuss this on this blog and bounce ideas off of each other pro and con without any interference from the school board or others who often shout us down or ignore us, where are you, don't you care about your kids?
I think we should. As the poster comments above, it'd be nice that our kids are getting the same type of education as the other students around them and not being treated as outsiders.
Only 149 people turned out to vote Tuesday; ... 147 people voted to withdraw .. 2 voted against.
With 2911 registered voters this was a really poor showing.
