ARUNDEL, Maine — After a brief procedural
selectmen’s meeting, a workshop regarding potential withdrawal from the
RSU 21 was held on Monday, Jan. 9 in the Mildred L. Day School library.
Town
Manager Todd Shea informed the audience of approximately 30 residents
that the session was purely informative about the process that will
occur after approximately 378 petition signatures in support of
withdrawal are validated. The petition was submitted to the town clerk
on Monday.
Shea said Arundel is the first community to
receive a petition while other towns in Maine are “exploring”
possibilities and an estimated half a dozen are awaiting petitions.
Shea
also said, regardless of what occurs next in the process, that Arundel
is going to be linked with the RSU 21 throughout Fiscal Year 2012-2013.
With
regards to teachers and staff leaving the RSU to return to Arundel,
Shea said they must honor any contracts and “they don’t have to stay
with M.L. Day.” Salaries will also remain level with RSU.
