Gendron Releases Reorganization  Update

156 notices filed as of Thursday  morning, the day before the deadline



AUGUSTA – A day before the deadline for  school administrative units to file their Notices of Intent regarding school  administrative reorganization plans or alternative plans, the state Department  of Education released an updated list of Notices filed so far.



As of Thursday morning, the Department had received  notices from 156 school units. Some units that are still considering more than  one possible course of action filed more than one Notice of Intent.  



Education Commissioner Susan A. Gendron said school  units and communities around the state are doing excellent work in finding  ways for units to partner to create educational opportunities and to generate  savings.  She cited several examples of that work:

• Westbrook, Windham and Raymond. “Two of the three  communities are not required by the Reorganization Law to partner because of  their size, yet all three are talking about the educational opportunities  that could be created, the possibility of varied opportunities for students  at each of the two high schools, and they are exploring the potential  savings of such a merger.”
• SAD 47, China, Vassalboro. “After some uncertainty  about who they would partner with, China and Vassalboro have now been  approached by SAD 47 with an invitation to talk about joining together in a  new Regional School Unit. While other units expressed concerns about the two  towns’ school choice and how it would affect them, SAD 47 has indicated it  is interested in building a first-class educational system and wants the  towns to be a part of it. They believe that some day a majority of students  in those towns will want to go to their high school.  The units are  talking about the possibility of filing an amended Notice of  Intent.”
• SAD 9, SAD 58, Coplin Plantation. “SAD 58 was  initially identified as an efficient, high-performing unit according to the  Reorganization Law’s criteria, and could have been exempted from the  requirements to reorganize. But they chose instead to explore all their  options.  Meanwhile, SAD 9’s superintendent had the wisdom to hold off  on interpreting the financial analysis that initially appeared to be  negative, followed up with the Department, and was able to present to his  board an explanation of the finances showing that the partnership would not  harm their units, and would provide educational opportunities and potential  for savings.”
• Falmouth, SAD 51. “Here we have two  superintendents, one of them a former business executive, with successful  school systems working together to enhance educational programming.”  

“Throughout the state we are finding the conversations  shifting from strictly finances to an exploration of the educational  opportunities,” Gendron said. “Potential partners are looking at each other’s  strengths and having positive conversations about the opportunities that can  be created for kids – that’s what this is about, creating the best educational  opportunities for students, and using our limited financial resources in the  best way possible to support that.”



Gendron acknowledged the financial concerns raised in  some communities following the Department’s provision of financial templates  to many units around the state.  Gendron noted that the templates were  always intended as a first step, one tool, in the examination of financial  data.



“The template is a picture in time – if these units  were merged today, what would the relative burdens look like?” Gendron said.  “In the vast majority of cases, what the templates show is that the burdens  would be about the same as before the merger, and that’s before any discussion  about possible savings. That leaves open the door to more in-depth discussions  and the building of a budget based on the educational vision of the combined  units, that achieves savings in central administration and overhead that could  be shifted to the classroom.”



The financials are complex, and Gendron said the  Department has offered and will continue to offer guidance to school units on  understanding them. Ultimately, she said, it’s up to school units to be  creative and find ways to make the finances work.



“You can use the finances to find ways to say ‘no,’ or  you can say – as so many units have – this is the right thing to do to create  opportunities for our students and find ways to make the finances work,”  Gendron said. “I am very encouraged by the work that’s been done to date and  the groundwork it has laid for the work ahead.”



Gendron has said she will reply to all units by Sept.  14 as to whether their Notices of Intent comply with the law and, if not, with  specific information about why they do not and suggestions for bringing them  into compliance. The law calls for no more than 80 units and for units to have  2,500 or more students unless that number is impractical, and in no case fewer  than 1,200 students.
