State Sen. James Maroney (D-Milford) today promised that the Amity Regional School District would not be broken up under the final version of any regionalization legislation.
The district serves the towns of Orange, Bethany and Woodbridge. A Democratic proposal raised in the state Senate would regionalize the state’s school districts based on the current probate judge map. If adopted as is, the three towns would all be in different districts.
“The Amity School District is excelling and is a prime example of the success that responsible regionalization can deliver,” Maroney said. “My colleagues and I are cognizant of the ramifications of breaking up districts, which are working well, can have on our state. As this legislative session continues, my colleagues and I will monitor the regionalization bills and their possible impact. We are in no way looking to break up successful districts, as that would be counterproductive to our state and the people of the 14th (state Senate) district.”
