CONCORD, Vt. (AP) — The town of Concord, Vt., is once again going to vote on the future of its high school.

The subject has been debated for over 20 years.

Vermont Public Radio reports (http://bit.ly/wS9S3J) that residents agree Concord High School has made too many staffing and program cuts, and would need more community involvement and resources to thrive.

A town meeting Tuesday night weighed the pros and cons of paying to send Concord's 40-plus high school students to other towns, while keeping the elementary program in the same building.

Many at the meeting defended the school program and suggested that sending students to other towns could be more costly than keeping the school open.
