Most districts meeting plan-submission deadline
Morning Sentinel, December 9, 2007
(excerpts) Every school district in the state but one -- has submitted a school reorganization plan to the Maine Department of Education, David Connerty-Marin, department spokesman said Friday.
"Just about everybody has filed as far as we know," he said. "Only SAD 24 (Van Buren) hasn't submitted, but we either have plans in hand or on their way or at least some sort of submission in hand."
One week after a Dec. 1 deadline, the Department of Education is still busy reviewing plans aimed at consolidating Maine's 290 school districts.
That leaves Education Commissioner Susan Gendron just one week to approve or reject those plans.
...
By Dec. 15, Gendron will approve or return any plan that does not meet the requirements of the law, with specific suggestions and reasons as to why the plan did not meet requirements.
Any plan submitted to and approved by Gendron by that date may proceed to a January municipal referendum.
