SAD 71 May Bid Heating Oil Contracts
SAD 71 may solicit bids for heating oil contracts amid surplus energy supplies, potentially replacing current supplier E.R. Warren with 1972 firms The Littlefield Oil Co. and B.F. Emery. The move could save about $50,000 yearly but hinges on Federal Energy Office written confirmation. A separate matter covers absentee ballots in a bond referendum and a dispute over English department grading norms at Kennebunk High School.
