In a recent editorial, the Valley News (of White River Junction, VT) commended the residents of the town of Unity, NH, who had voted to replace the local school, a building that was filled with a variety of fire safety and other deficiencies.
Initially the town's voters had, on a number of occasions, rejected any proposal to replace the school. However, after the New Hampshire Board of Education decided to shut the school down, residents began to reconsider all that was happening. In the minds of many of the local residents, losing the school was like losing the heart of the community, and the voters finally voted overwhelmingly to replace the school.
