KENNEBUNKPORT — The board of selectmen is seeking
residents to volunteer for a committee that will research the feasibility of the
town withdrawing from Regional School Unit 21.
The RSU 21 school board’s decision to reopen discussions on the district’s cost-sharing formula between Kennebunk, Kennebunkport and Arundel caused the selectmen Thursday to decide to form the seven-member committee, said Selectmen Chairman Stuart Barwise.
“What we’re doing arises from, and only from, the repeated frustrations with cost-sharing,” Barwise said at the selectmen’s meeting in the Village Fire Station.
The board will consist of five town residents, Town Manager Larry Mead and a selectman, yet to be appointed. Candidates will be appointed at the selectmen’s next meeting on Thursday, Feb. 9 at 7 p.m. in the Village Fire Station.
Barwise said members will examine the educational, financial and management implications of leaving the district.
