School merger doubts

Bangor Daily News, August 15, 2007

(excerpt) Maine school consolidation implemented plans for communities to begin meetings with their regional school unit. So far one meeting hosted by Orrington has met to discuss a SAD 63 morph into Brewer. Meanwhile at a not well-known public meeting at Holbrook on Aug. 2, we learned SAD 63’s agenda has formulated their own game of cards. Essentially this committee said we couldn’t afford to align with Brewer because we would have to increase costs in teacher salaries upwards of $400,000 over a couple of years. This figure was questioned by the audience for its factual information.
