The ballot is two pages, front and back, and includes:

The website includes renderings of the buildings at the site of the current Charlestown Elementary School, at the corner of Rt. 112 and Shannock Road.
• Charlestown Charter Amendments are on the back of page one, after the Chariho Bond question, and continue to the front of page two. Take our advice to reject charter question 7.
