When the debate about closing the Plymouth Elementary School came to an end in 2009, town residents and the school board looked towards the future. What would become of the building, which had served the town so well since 1961?
An answer came at the 2010 town meeting, when the town voted to lease the building from the school board for the next five years. After five years the facility would be fully owned by the town and available in case the student population rebounded in the long term and made the school viable again.
