📰 News we're reading

• New Maine School Set to Open With Co-Ed Locker Room (themainewire.com) — Buckfield families with students in RSU 10 should know the new Mountain Valley Community School is slated to open in January with a single co-ed locker room, shared by boys and girls in private stalls. Board members, including Buckfield’s representative, are split over whether this design is a problem, and questions remain about whether state rules actually require a co-ed setup.
