JACKSON — With the deadline looming in June 2024 for towns to notify Conway if they are opting out of the next 20-year tuition agreement, the Jackson School Board voted unanimously Monday to create a school options committee.
The committee will be led by members Darlene Ference and Kate Fournier and also include Jackson citizens.
