SAD 9 acts to share school business post

Morning Sentinel, April 26, 2007

(excerpt) School Administrative District 9 directors Tuesday night approved a proposal to share a financial position with SAD 58 starting with the new fiscal year. Under the plan, Anne Stinchfield, currently SAD 58's business manager, will spend three days a week with SAD 9 and two with SAD 58.

SAD 58 directors have not yet acted on the proposal, but will be meeting Thursday night at Mt. Abram High School in Salem. If it passes muster with that board, Stinchfield will handle accounts payable for SAD 9, taking over duties done by Linda Dwinal.

Dwinal has worked for SAD 9 for 21 years but is retiring this year.

SAD 9 Superintendent Michael Cormier said the plan would save SAD 9 $24,283. Technology and spinning off some of the duties to others has made the change possible, he said.
