Parents ask Walden Selectboard for help after preschool program canceled two weeks before classes
Summary

Parents Jay and Camille Lamelle said at the Aug. 25 Walden Selectboard meeting that the town’s preschool was cancelled two weeks before classes were to start, despite 15 children having been signed up for the program.
The Lamelles requested financial assistance to enroll their two children in another program. The minutes state the board acknowledged their frustration and directed the Lamelles to contact the Caledonia Cooperative Supervisory Union in Danville for assistance rather than treating it as a town-managed issue.
The minutes do not record any formal vote, appropriations, or commitment by the town to provide funds. The record locates the matter in public comment and shows the board redirected the parents to the regional supervisory union that oversees local school programs.
