Rehoboth Selectmen Chair Praises Relationship with D-R

Board of Selectmen Chairman Skip Vadnais said the relationship between the town of Rehoboth and the Dighton-Rehoboth Regional School District is going smoothly. "We have a better understanding of each other's position," Vadnais told Superintendent Bill Runey at Monday's meeting. "And the concerns and the challenges we both face in order to meet the needs of both the town and our educational obligations. I think we've made great strides in that. We have a better financial understanding.

Runey acknowledged the clerical mistakes which had resulted in new operating assessments being approved for Dighton and Rehoboth at the October 10 school committee meeting. "It's not to the standard that I expect from our staff," Runey noted. "I wanted to come before you and apologize."

The district's business administrator, Robert Baxter, retired last month. The district has partnered with TMS Solutions to provide interim business administrator services.
