Sheffield Town Meeting Summary

At 10 a.m. Tuesday March 2, 2010, families, friends and advocates, who are the residents of Sheffield, Vermont began trickling into the warm town hall. The meeting began easy-going and smooth, but there was a sense that there was going to be some competition. When it came time to elect a school director for a term of one year, Article 15, there were three balloting cycles, for none of the three candidates had received over half of the ballots. Two of these ballot voting rounds had three candidates, until one candidate withdrew, leaving a two candidate ballot vote was held again, and a school director was decided. Amongst the serious competition on serious topics, Sheffield’s town meeting was filled with laughter, to be enjoyed between families and their neighbors.
