The yard signs are down and Conway voters have spoken, electing Nicole Stanley and Sarah Burke to the school board. Crucially, these two new additions received the most votes of all candidates, delivering a clear mandate from taxpayers exhausted by the status quo. While these new faces bring fresh perspectives, they are immediately confronted with a systemic reality: the Mount Washington Valley is at an educational and financial crossroads.
For months, regional discourse has been consumed by bitter negotiations over expiring tuition contracts. Sending towns are pushing back against skyrocketing costs and Conway is struggling with a heavy tax burden. The current vendor/customer model — where Conway acts as a landlord charging neighbors a premium to educate their children — is fundamentally broken. We do not need better negotiators; we need a completely new ecosystem.
