## Resource

Paine Mountain School Board is weighing bold changes—possibly ditching high schools entirely—to tackle financial strain and aging facilities. With two middle-high schools 10 miles apart, options include consolidating into one (Williamstown’s newer campus favored) or becoming a K-8 district while sending teens elsewhere—a $7M plan with future merger potential. The board’s moving fast, scouting regional partners and holding public forums to shape the future of education in their community.
