Reapportionment Sought for SAD 71 Board Representation
Kennebunkport and Kennebunk directors David Sutter and Jack Ketchum were named to a two member committee to study fair, legal apportionment under one man one vote. The review follows claims by Warren Astrowsky that the six Kennebunk plus four Kennebunkport seats violate civil rights. A state education official affirmed legality, while noting towns may initiate reapportionment. Astrowsky proclaimed himself the unhappy citizen. Also discussed was Elizabeth Lambert’s resignation from Cousens School citing workload and pay.

Surfers in Old Orchard Beach push for a referendum to authorize a 156 yard surfing area north of the pier after the town council rejected the petition.
