MDI school leaders defend reorganization plan in Augusta
Bar Harbor Times, January 17, 2008
(excerpt) Three Mount Desert Island school officials told the Legislature’s Education Committee last Thursday that Union 98 works just fine and that the local school reorganization plan, which the state education commissioner has rejected, is consistent with the intent of the school consolidation law that the Legislature passed last year.
Whether the local delegation was persuasive remains to be seen. But they discovered they apparently have an ally in a legislator from another part of the state, Sen. Peter Mills, R-Skowhegan.
Union 98 Superintendent Rob Liebow and three members of the local Reorganization Planning Committee (RPC) – Chair Gail Marshall, Vice Chair Brian Hubbell and Paul Murphy – went to Augusta to discuss the RPC’s plan with Education Commissioner Susan Gendron. Also present were Democratic Reps. Ted Koffman and Hannah Pingree and Sen. Dennis Damon, whose districts include all or part of MDI, as well as Sen. Mills, a member of the Education Committee.
