Arundel taxpayers at last have the figures
before them for what they might expect to pay should the town wish to
form its own school district versus remaining with RSU 21.
According
to consultant Chuck Lawton of Planning Decisions, only one option,
Option A, would save taxpayers any money if they were to vote for
withdrawal. And according to Lawton and town officials, that option
calls for such great efficiencies that it isn't really an option at all.
Instead, to maintain a similar level of service, taxpayers would pay
anywhere from $12.65 to $13.56 per $1,000 in valuation to go it alone.
Factoring in different cost-sharing options, remaining with the RSU
would result in taxpayers paying anywhere from a high of $12.52 per
$1,000 in valuation to a low of $11.88 if they stayed in RSU 21.
