Glenburn: Decision to deny consolidation plans appealed

Bangor Daily News, September 29, 2007

(excerpt) Glenburn submitted two letters of intent by the state’s August deadline, but both were rejected by Education Commissioner Susan Gendron, who suggested the community should be looking to consolidate with neighboring Bangor. That also goes against her previous suggestion that Glenburn join with Hudson, Bradford, Corinth, Stetson and Kenduskeag.

"We have had good relationships with the area school systems and wish to keep these relationships intact," said Ron Tewhey, the committee chairman.

Both of Glenburn’s proposals were inconsistent with the state’s original direction, but other towns filed similar, if not identical, letters of intent.
