Elementary Schools in Region 12 will not be consolidated. Residents in Bridgewater and Roxbury defeated the proposal to close the elementary schools in the individual towns and create one K-to-5 school to be constructed on the Shepaug campus.
Voters in Washington approved the proposal.
Residents in Bridgewater and Roxbury also voted down the second question on the ballot last night that would have meant spending $40.87 million to consolidate the schools on that campus and renovate the middle-high school.
Again, residents in Washington approved the proposal.
