Towns may be offered schools
Bangor Daily News, January 10, 2007


(excerpt) School officials had planned to meet with state education officials last month to discuss the project but the meeting was postponed. That move delayed the planned Jan. 4 public hearing and straw vote on the project.

Scott Brown, the Department of Education's director of school facilities projects, said his office believes a little more time should be spent on the project review. "We move ahead when we're ready to move ahead," he said Tuesday.

Brown said his office wanted to tighten up the programming and revisit the special education component to make sure it was the right proposal. Discussions on the project are expected to continue between the state construction committee and Jordan today in Augusta.

"We're ready to go on our end," Jordan said.

Whether you believe in fairytales or conspiracies is not the issue. It is evident that the District is on a fast track for a March 14th referendum vote.
It is also evident from remarks of the DOE that time could be used to further review some of the details of the plan.
That is of course unless the Dexter plan is to rush a mid-winter vote.
