SCHOOL BOARD MEETS TONIGHT

The Board of Education will hold its regular monthly meeting tonight at 7:30 p.m. at the board offices, 525 Academy Street,

While the arrest last week of Columbia High School teacher Nicole Dufault is not on the agenda, you can expect it will be discussed and that residents can have their say about it or any issue during public comment.
