Well, you have to go back into history. 40 years ago, Moultonboro DID go to Kingswood. The trip was well over an hour for students, one way. I know too well. If you lived on the neck it was more than 90 mins, with all the school bus stops. Moultonboro then, was a uplooking community, with almost infinite, forward looking, tax base, so the town voted to split off. They paid off all the bonds owed to Kingswood, took years, and started their own, independent school system.
So, now, we have too much facility. It is what I have been complaining about with overspending with town government, all of us tax payers will end up paying off the bonds, regardless of who is left in town to pay the taxes. Schools aren't an accordion, and it will always hard to balance growth vs contraction.
We, as a country, are seeing a massive influx of families over the southern border. Now the federal government wants to welcome all the refugees from the middle east. All of these people prefer the warm climates, where they have their citizenship. I would predict the southern states will be flooded and the extreme northern states, like NH, will be relatively free from this influx.
Planning is hard in any school district, with many things being unpredictable from 10 years before. I don't see the advantage to scrapping the school building in M'boro to go to Kingswood, to only replay history.
