Maine: School District Consolidation

Thu, 11/20/2008 - 14:00

Local government mergers occurring in Maine, across country

By Jessica Alaimo, PolitickerME.com Reporter

Maine’s school district consolidation effort is featured in a Governing Magazine piece about local government mergers.

In 2007, Gov. John Baldacci initiated the school district consolidation issue as a means of saving money. Since then it’s been a hot-button issue in the Legislature and in local campaigns.

Governing’s story features Leon Duff, superintendent of the Monmouth schools – all three of them. It’s a part-time job.
