Dennysville Strikes Tuition Deal With Pembroke at the Expense of School Choice

By Paul Sylvain

Call it a case of buyer’s remorse, but a deal approved July 29 by Dennysville voters to transfer all of the town’s pre-kindergarten through Grade 8 students to Pembroke Elementary School (PES) was being rethought by many of those same voters late last week.

Meanwhile, an 11th-hour attempt by Washington County commissioners late last week to consider ways to reverse the decision may be too little too late. Pembroke voters sealed the deal by approving its half of the agreement with Dennysville at their annual town meeting on Aug. 12.
