School cost-sharing plan ‘similar’ to last year

The Regional School Unit 21 cost sharing committee held its regular meeting June 18 and voted to approve the wording of the cost-sharing document.

The proposal was reviewed by Jim Rier, deputy commissioner of Finance and Operations for the Department of Education.

Andrew Dolloff, Regional School Unit 21 superintendent of schools, said Rier believes the cost sharing “language is very similar to last year. Though some of the numbers have changed, the TIF language is in there now. He feels that this is something they would wait for a vote from this group. But he felt that this was something the Department of Education could support.”

Dolloff said that after the vote, the Department of Education may go back in and “wordsmith” some of the language. He said if no changes are made he will communicate that to the school board. If even slight changes are made, Dolloff said he would ask if the group would like to meet to go over them.
