Statewide Reorganization
As many of you know, Governor Baldacci has proposed a radical plan to consolidate school districts in Maine. Citing the need to create property tax reform, the Governor has proposed that the number of school district administrations be consolidated from 152 school superintendent districts to 26. His rationale is that consolidation means efficiency and efficiency means less dollars being spent on education. His plan is receiving a great deal of attention in the media and now in the legislature. The Governor’s Regionalization plan is part of his proposed budget and has been submitted to the legislature for action. Currently, his regionalization plan is being reviewed by the legislature for action this session.
