8. Freeport, Durham and Pownal taxpayers all avoid paying for expansion of Freeport High School to address a temporary population bubble.
7. Taxpayers can better understand how tax dollars are spent and enjoy freedom from inequitable and confusing RSU cost sharing.
6. We can spend more money on great teachers and less money on middle management.
5. We can spend more time on educational vision and less time on political budget battles.
4. Our schools can enjoy voter support and we can maintain better relationships with our neighboring towns.
3. We can focus our local tax dollars to renovate, innovate, and educate our school system.
2. We can focus our time and resources on individual student needs.
1. Freeport can seek greatness for all students who choose to attend our schools, no matter their town of residence.
