page 105-106
At the town meeting on March 2, 1795 the question of apportioning the town into five school districts was debated at length and finally a committee of fourteen was chosen to report at the regular meeting in May.1 This meeting, when convened on May 6 voted to raise 80 pounds for school support, 20 pounds of which was to be expended for the women's school. The committee of school administration and inspection was made up of Aaron Jones, John Robbins, Job Brooks, Jonas Heald, Samuel Parlin, Abraham Hapgood, and John Adams. On the held-over question of the school districts it was decided to have five, each person to send his children to the district of his choice and to have his school levy spent in that district. - See town records, voL 1, p. 428.
