SCHOOL PETITION
The Kingfield community has long enjoyed high quality education for its children. In recent years providing for this education has come at an increased financial expense. In an effort to continue to provide a high-quality education and reduce taxpayer burden, a citizen-initiated petition asking to explore school structure alternatives is being circulated. If you support forming a committee to search for alternatives to give our children the best education possible in a fiscally responsible manner please consider signing the petition.
The language of the petition is dictated by state law. It reads:
We the undersigned registered voters of the Town of Kingfield, Maine, qualified to vote in town affairs, hereby petition the Kingfield Board of Selectman, to initiate the process to withdraw from RSU#58 in accordance with Maine Revised Statutes, Title 20-A: EDUCATION §1466. Withdrawal of a single municipality from a regional school unit.
Signing the petition does NOT mean you support withdrawal from MSAD 58, or any other form of restructuring. Your signature simply means you support exploring options. A public hearing and a town vote are necessary steps for withdrawal. The petition is the necessary first step in researching alternatives.
If you are a Kingfield resident and would like to learn more and/or would like to sign the petition, please reply, including your full name, to kingfieldcares@gmail.com, to be added to an email group. You will receive updates including where/how you can sign the petition, facts about the process and other relevant information. The goal is to gather as much information as possible so community members can make an informed decision.
