High School e-Bay enrollment sweepstakes ...

Education enrollment has now been reduced to e-Bay like auction for out-of-town students. Low bid wins! Big losers are the taxpayers in the winning town.

• Brookfield
• Danbury
• New Fairfield

That premium is a per student share of the bond indebtedness to build (or can we say "renovate as new") the school facilities. What is the New Fairfield Board of Education position on the "Sherman e-Bay enrollment sweepstakes"?
