Dover-Foxcroft: SAD 68 unsure of 6 teachers' futures

Bangor Daily News, April 5, 2007

(excerpt) In an unusual turn of events Tuesday, SAD 68 directors tabled action on a recommendation to keep six teachers on second-year probationary status because of district financial uncertainty.


The six are winding up their first year of employment.


The move to table action was dictated by financial information the district received from the state, according to SAD 68 Superintendent John Dirnbauer.


"That information was not very good," Dirnbauer said Wednesday.


He said the state had provided school districts with a worst- and best-case scenario regarding increases in subsidy for the 2007-08 school year. For SAD 68 the best case is an increase of $114,000 while the worst case is an increase of $68,000.


The end result could mean some deep cuts including positions, and some of the teachers on the list could be affected, according to Dirnbauer.
