📰 News we're reading

• RSU 63 school closure plan: How a single town could face $670K bill under Maine law (wabi.tv) — Holden voters are being asked this November whether to close Eddington Elementary School, a decision that could save RSU 63 about $670,000 a year but also shift major costs onto any town that votes no. The outcome will determine future classroom configurations, bus routes, and how much Holden taxpayers may ultimately pay for district operations.
