## Resource

Two beloved elementary schools in the Kearsarge Regional School District—Simonds and Sutton Central—are on the chopping block, with plans to consolidate students into Bradford and New London. Residents are furious over the suddenness of the move, demanding financial transparency and community input. Parents and locals mourn the loss of school history and worry about longer bus rides, especially for drivers already managing 45-minute commutes. The school board is weighing options with a deadline for cost estimates before September 24th, but final approval rests with voters. Community members are calling for deeper, more meaningful conversations about what these closures mean for towns like Warner’s future.
