(excerpts)
Bangor
Bangor has discussed consolidation possibilities with SAD 63 (Holden, Eddington, Clifton), Glenburn, Veazie, Hampden and Orono. The school committee plans to vote tonight on what its Notice of Intent will say.

Hampden
SAD 22 (Hampden, Winterport, Newburgh), with an "efficient, high-performing" rating that provides an exemption from consolidation requirements, plans to remain a three-town school district.

Newport
SAD 48 (Corinna, Hartland, Newport, St. Albans, Palmyra, Plymouth) residents recommended filing a Notice of Intent to join with SAD 38 (Etna, Dixmont). The school board was expected to meet Tuesday to decide whether to accept the recommendation.

Unity
SAD 3 (Brooks, Freedom, Jackson, Knox, Liberty, Monroe, Montville, Thorndike, Troy, Waldo, Unity)may request an exemption based on geography because the district is already large at 440 square miles; it also is considering sharing services with neighboring districts. The board is expected to consider plans at its Monday, Aug. 27, meeting. The district is in the midst of building a new K-12 school in Thorndike paid for entirely with state funds.
