CROYDON — The future of the Croydon Village School will be up for debate at the annual school meeting on Saturday, March 15.

Articles of note: One article on the town warrant asks if voters support a one-year subdivision moratorium in the rural district while the town upgrades its master plan. Another town article asks whether the town will amend the rural zoning ordinance to require five acres for a single-family home, up from the current 3.5 acres. Another zoning amendment would regulate cell towers; another would disallow mobile home parks in rural residential areas; and another would alter the accessory dwelling unit ordinance. A school article would see if the district will tuition fourth grade students to area schools with which the district has tuition agreements. Another school article would offer preschool services at the Croydon Village School for which families would pay tuition; free or reduced rates would be available to families who qualify for free or reduced price school meals.
