Dighton-Rehoboth Votes for School Choice

The Dighton-Rehoboth Regional School Committee voted to become part of the school choice program. For the first time, students from other districts can attend D-R high school. Under the school choice program, the sending district pays $5,000 per student. The school committee approved 20 seats in grade 9 and five seats each in grades 10, 11 and 12. In addition to the added revenue, being part of the school choice program also helps the district manage declining enrollment. D-R is the second school district in the area to become part of the school choice program.
