[¶1] Regional School Unit 21 and the Board of Regional School Unit 21 (collectively, RSU 21) appeal from a judgment entered by the Superior Court (York County, Douglas, J. ) on a complaint filed by Thornton Academy and residents of Arundel 1 in connection with RSU 21's decision not to allow Arundel middle school students to attend Thornton Academy at public expense. RSU 21 contends that the court misinterpreted 20-A M.R.S. § 1479 (2018) to allow middle school students who live in Arundel to attend Thornton Academy at public expense. We affirm the judgment.
