Grace Howard Pushes SAD 71 Referendum on Dissolution
Grace Howard, member of an ad hoc committee, seeks a May 20 town meeting article to start dissolving SAD 71 via secret ballot. If two selectmen back it, a petition may be unnecessary. Kennebunk has seen repeated losses on similar moves. Howard aims to restore Union era local control, arguing costs rise from buildings over education and basics-focused schooling reduces frills and expenses.
