Orono: Town sees online bid to stop RSU plan
Bangor Daily News, December 7, 2007
(excerpt) An online petition is being passed around encouraging Orono residents to show their opposition to the School Committee’s decision to form a regional school unit with Old Town and Union 90, which comprises Alton, Bradley, Greenbush and Milford.
Nearly 200 people have electronically signed the document, which calls for the School Committee to reverse its 3-2 Nov. 29 decision.
"People are afraid that what they have in Orono as a good school system is going to be lost," resident Stan Levitsky said Thursday. "None of these decisions were made from any evidence. It’s all emotion and it’s all supposition of what you like better."
The petition asks the committee instead to pursue the other option previously considered, which is to merge Orono with Veazie and Glenburn.
