==Education== The municipal council in Sør-Fron Municipality began planning for a restructuring of the local schools in 2009. In December 2010, a decision was made which included one new kindergarten in Harpefoss. Both the deputy mayor and the chair of the living conditions committee (), both from the Labour Party, said that the process had not been optimal in that all information that would be necessary for an informed decision had not been gathered.
