SAD 9: District mulls its test scores
Kennebec Journal, October 26, 2007
(excerpt) Earlier in the meeting, directors debated the merits of the pending governing guidelines for the fledgling Western Mountains Regional School Unit, which is aimed at consolidating SADs 9 and 58, as well as Coplin and Highland plantations.
Director Mark Prentiss of Industry, a member of the unit board's governance sub-committee, said a 25-member board is being recommended to head the new system. It would give each of the 16 communities at least one representative, with Farmington and Wilton having seven and four representatives respectively.
Votes would be tallied on a weighted scale, but with a 60 percent minimum requirement for motions to pass, Farmington and Wilton would not be able to team up to outscore the 14 other towns.
Neil Stinneford of Weld objected to both the size of the board and the 60 percent standard. "Twenty-five is too many," Stinneford said, adding that a 60 percent approval shouldn't be needed to pass routine items such as field trips.
