Orono panel clarifies consolidation plan

Bangor Daily News, December 20, 2007

(excerpt) Superintendent Kelley Clenchy said Wednesday that the committee wanted to make clear its intent to include Glenburn and Veazie in consolidation discussions, along with Old Town and the communities that make up Union 90 (Milford, Alton, Bradley and Greenbush).

The committee voted last month to form a regional school unit with Old Town and Union 90, but the plan hasn’t sat well with some community members.

An online petition signed by nearly 400 residents was presented Tuesday to the committee. The document calls for the committee to reverse its Nov. 29 3-2 decision and instead to pursue a smaller regional school unit with Veazie and Glenburn.
