ARUNDEL — Voters in Arundel have narrowly decided to stay in Regional School Unit 21, by a vote of 1,196 to 1,044, and will continue to share fiscal and administrative resources for education with Kennebunk and Kennebunkport.

The vote caps months of debate, which started in January when volunteer firefighter David Lane helped to spearhead a petition proposing that the town withdraw from RSU 21. The effort kicked off a series of informational meetings, public hearings, a Special Town Meeting to determine whether the town should move forward, and the formation of a withdrawal committee that was tasked with determining Arundel’s best financial interests.

  1. David, Jon, and Diane need to be run out of Arundel because of what this has done to the Town.

    The divide goes beyond a simple vote but a major philosphoical one between educated vs townie,

    I have ZERO respect for those individuals and don't see them as the type to drop their efforts. When you lie to obtain your goal, you can't come back later and expect people to just "move on".

    I've still got neighbors who no longer speak to each other and the rift is irreversible. And we're 35 grand lighter in the wallet because of it!! Thanks David!
