WHAT THE REFERENDUM IS ALL ABOUT: Families for Region 14 successfully petitioned for and was granted a referendum vote by machine in both the towns of Woodbury and Bethlehem under Connecticut General Statute 10-47c to amend the original 1968 regionalization plan to clarify it’s original intent.
Vote YES to amend the regional plan of 1968 to provide that grades K-5 will be educated and housed in separate K-5 elementary school buildings in both Bethlehem and Woodbury unless and until both towns by referenda further amend the plan to include a different grade configuration. In other words, vote YES to keep our k-5 elementary schools in both towns and vote YES to ensure that any changes to the plan are only done via referendum vote.
