Local schools face state aid cuts


KENNEBUNK — Local school departments are finding ways to make up for a shortfall in expected state revenue, facing a loss of thousands in state aid.

RSU 21's state aid is being cut by $281,000 while the Wells-Ogunquit Community School District is losing $112,949.

"It's unfortunate that Maine is in this situation. There just isn't any revenue, and everyone has to feel the pain a little bit," said RSU 21 Superintendent Andrew Dolloff. "We're not happy about the continual reduction in state aid, but it's pretty clear that Maine simply doesn't have the infrastructure and business climate that will spur any growth any time soon."
