📰 News we're reading
• To spray or not to spray (vermontdailychronicle.com) — Greensboro residents are weighing whether to use herbicides, including glyphosate, to control invasive knotweed, with a $3,000 Town Meeting allocation funding a pilot project at Highland Lodge. The Greensboro Conservation Commission, Pollinator Friendly Greensboro, and local businesses like Smith’s Grocery are debating chemical versus mechanical removal, pollinator impacts, and how much volunteer effort the town can realistically sustain. 
• WCUUSD process of reconfiguration questioned (hardwickgazette.org) — A Greensboro resident is challenging how the Washington Central Unified Union School District has handled school reconfiguration, arguing the board may have sidestepped required public process and open meeting laws. His concerns come as Woodbury and other small towns weigh school consolidation options, with questions about whether WCUUSD offers better choices than existing regional arrangements.
