KENNEBUNKPORT, Maine — Discussion between the Board
of Selectmen and area residents at Thursday’s Regional School Unit 21
cost-sharing forum switched gears from complaints of imbalance among the
district’s three towns to a discussion of what a withdrawal process
would entail.
Although the public forum had low attendance because of that day’s snowstorm, it didn’t stop those who participated from expressing their dissatisfaction with the RSU’s arrangement of cost distribution among Kennebunkport, Kennebunk and Arundel.
“Truthfully, we’re going to be looking into getting out of the system, too,” said selectmen Vice Chairwoman Sheila Matthews-Bull at the meeting in the Village Fire Station.
Matthews-Bull’s comment was in relation to Arundel residents submitting a petition last week, which contained 380 signatures, to withdraw their town from the district.
According to Matthews-Bull, the cost-sharing agreement isn’t fair because Kennebunkport has fewer teens at the more than 700-student Kennebunk High School than Kennebunk, but still has to pay more.
