SAD 74 directors to discuss 1-year merger with SAD 13

Morning Sentinel, June 4, 2008

(excerpt) A temporary merger of administrative services for schools in SAD 74 and the Bingham-based SAD 13 could come a step closer to reality tonight when the School Administrative District 74 board meets in regular session.

The meeting is set for 7 p.m. at Carrabec High School.

On the table tonight is a proposal for an inter-local agreement between the two districts, which would consolidate some of the work, but only as a test drive for one year, SAD 74 Superintendent Regina Campbell said Tuesday.

SAD 74 is made up of the towns of Anson, Solon, Embden and New Portland. SAD 13 is Bingham and Moscow.

"Both boards have been meeting over the past few months discussing possible consolidation of administrative services for next year," Campbell said.
