Committee to report on withdrawal options




KENNEBUNKPORT — The committee examining withdrawal from RSU 21 is planning to present a draft report to the Board of Selectmen later this month.

The RSU 21 Study Committee has been tasked with gathering information surrounding the implications of withdrawing from the RSU. Town Manager Larry Mead, who sits on the committee in an advisory position, said the group has been gathering information on costs, including the impacts to transportation and special education, capital projects, and administration.

They are also looking at what the results might be of the town becoming an independent district and what the operating costs of running an elementary school would be.

"We are going to be presenting preliminary findings of information to the selectmen at the meeting next week," Mead said. "We will draft up a written summary of what the findings are to date, they are certainly not complete."

The committee will present to the board during the March 22 meeting, scheduled for 7 p.m. at the Village Fire Station.
