School board to review disposal of old school
Camden Herald, August 18, 2006
(excerpts)The agenda includes information from attorney E. William Stockmeyer, of Drummond Woodsum & MacMahon of Portland, about what can be done with the old RES school building on West Street, which is to close when students move to the new building.
...
Stockmeyer wrote to Superintendent Pat Hopkins on Aug. 10 that the school district has five options if the referendum succeeds and students leave the old Rockport Elementary School East, built in 1952.
For one, SAD 28 could decide to keep the building and “keep the facility closed for possible future use.”
The district could also choose to lease it at a fair rental value and if so, there “must be a reasonable likelihood the building will be needed again for educational purposes.”
Or SAD 28 could just give the building and land back to Rockport, which owned it before the school district was created in 1964. Stockmeyer wrote that SAD 28 might be able to charge the town for the three additions built since that date.
If Rockport doesn’t want the building, SAD 28 could sell it. In that case, Rockport would get “the net sales proceeds attributable to the original RES East building,” after the district subtracts its own costs of the sale. The net proceeds must be deducted from Rockport’s share of current SAD 28 costs.
The district could also choose to demolish the building, but would need to get approval from Rockport and Camden voters of SAD 28.
