Port Kennebunk To Get Rebate On Assessment
SAD 71 announced both Port and Kennebunkport were overcharged about 25000 in school costs this year. Kennebunkport will be credited a share of 11329.90 and Kennebunk 14600.10, reducing this year’s final school payments due December 31. The windfall results from miscalculation by the state DOE amid new financing rules. Revenue loss is not expected to affect the district budget. 1976 tax rates may be mildly impacted.
