By Ann Needle
At its final meeting of the school year last night, the Nashoba School Committee wrapped up miscellaneous business, some of it postponed from earlier meetings. One issue was the vote on the length of time half-day kindergarten students would attend class each day starting in August. The emphasis of the meeting focused on what the district is doing to reach out to troubled students.
Nashoba Regional High School Principal Dr. Parry Graham focused on what the school is doing to better settle new students into its culture.
