JACKSON — With more than 60 people turning out for the Jackson School Board’s high school tuition information session and community forum in the Whitney Center on Monday, citizens were eager to talk about possible 10-year contracts with Fryeburg Academy and a five-year contract with Kennett High School.
Jessica Della Valla, chair of the Jackson board, told the audience: “Of course, there will be further meetings. We will also be sharing a digital survey. Paper copies will also be available. ... We invite you to kind of take up the responsibility, because there's a lot of power that all of us share together as a community”
