Brunswick Considers Using Former Naval Air Station for High School
Brunswick faces crowded schools and weighs taking over the former Brunswick Naval Air Station hospital building for a new high school. The Navy still controls the site, currently used by the University of Maine for classrooms and labs. If used, it would delay Brunswick High construction until material costs fall and aid may be available. Expanded space could also absorb Topsham juniors, easing local congestion. Officials propose a private act to raise out of town pupil tuition to 259 and redefine per pupil education costs.
