Rarely can you get more for less. Elementary education in the Monadnock region provides voters this opportunity on March 11.

This past November, the New Hampshire State Board of Education voted unanimously to support Dublin’s and Francestown’s withdrawal proposal and plans. Their decision was based on the work done by the Dublin Educational Advisory Committee.

Why vote now on withdrawal? – On March 11, voters have a chance to withdraw the Dublin Consolidated School permanently from ConVal and form a Dublin School Board. This vote will relieve Dublin from the escalating future costs that will likely come from future municipal bonds ConVal will be proposing.

Your vote will help regain local control of education and finances, create opportunities to enrich the education received by all Dublin students, help make ConVal education stronger in the upper grades as an equal partner and provide the best services for Dublin families, parents and students.

Better schools/better Dublin – Finally the Dublin Select Board unanimously recommended withdrawal from ConVal and the creation of a Dublin School District. The current economics make no “cents.” Dublin’s apportionment is now $5.4 million; the highest cost at $37,497.60 per student in the system. The actual cost per student is $27,000; our taxes fund out-of-town students.This is our chance to regain control of our taxes, fund better schools locally and provide an education for our children that we can all be proud of.
