SAD 43 plays waiting game
Sun-Journal, September 5, 2007
(excerpt) SAD 43's [Rumford] proposed reorganization plan includes neighboring SAD 21, but only if the state makes changes that balances out costs among the communities.
Superintendent Jim Hodgkin told the board at Tuesday's SAD 43 meeting that although partnering with its closest neighbor in Dixfield makes the most sense educationally, the current impact as provided by the state would make it impossible for SAD 43 voters to support such a merger.
"This type of thing is going on around the state. We expect the Legislature to address the issue. The overall game plan is to go slow. We will not push for a Jan. 15 vote," he said. "Unless something changes in cost-sharing, there's no way we can seriously consider SAD 21."
