Shoreham-Bridport school merger can’t be appealed

ACSD Superintendent Wendy Baker says the school board’s decision to merge the two elementary schools is final.

The ACSD board on Monday voted 8-1 in favor of a plan to blend Shoreham’s kindergarten through 5th-grade students into Bridport Central School beginning next fall, and convert Shoreham Elementary School into a district Pre-K hub.

The ACSD board on Monday conducted its first review of a plan to educate both the Shoreham and Bridport K-5 student populations at Bridport Central School beginning next fall.

The ACSD board is scheduled to vote on a proposal to serve the K-5 populations of both Bridport and Shoreham at Bridport Central School, starting in the fall of 2026.
