School district plan detailed
Bangor Daily News, January 9, 2006
(excerpt) Commissioner of Education Susan A. Gendron on Monday offered more details of the sweeping proposal which she said offers the best chance to shift resources from administration to the classroom. The Local Schools, Regional Support Initiative calls for reducing the number of school administrative systems from 152 to 26, a move that will save taxpayers $250 million over its first three years, according to Gendron.
"We are talking about shifting resources from central office administration to the classroom to achieve excellence in education for every student in every classroom in every local school," she said.
Gendron outlined the proposal, which is included in Gov. John Baldacci’s $6.4 billion budget for 2007-09, during a press briefing at the Cabinet Room on Monday.
She said the savings in administrative costs would be used to expand the laptop program into the high schools, create college scholarship funds for low-income high school graduates, increase professional development for teachers, and place a full-time principal in every school.
