Teacher program extension sought

Bangor Daily News, December 13, 2007

(excerpt) directors on Tuesday voted to apply to the Department of Education’s Renovation Fund for the purchase of a new boiler for the Guilford Primary School. The 1991 boiler in use had a leak. The repair of the existing boiler is estimated at $10,000 compared with a new boiler at about $40,000, he said. The district’s share of the new boiler would be about 34 percent to 35 percent of the total cost, he said.

Since the new boiler installed at Piscataquis Community High School reduced oil consumption by 37 percent in 2007, it is expected that a new boiler in the primary school will do the same, according to Stearns.

Directors also approved a 3 percent raise for Stearns, taking his salary to $94,420. He does not take health benefits through his position. His contract previously had been extended to 2011 and Stearns asked that his contract not be extended beyond that date.
