As the state encourages more school districts to save money by sharing services, two U海角社区 professors spoke with 海角社区 Public<\/a> about the lessons that can be learned from school consolidation. Former 海角社区 Governor John Baldacci first introduced the idea of merging districts in 2007 in an effort to save money by cutting down on administrative overhead. University of 海角社区 Professor Emeritus Gordon Donaldson, who has studied consolidation, said the imagined savings never materialized. Janet Fairman, associate research professor and co-director of the 海角社区 Education Policy Research Institute, says many districts ended up pulling out of their regional school units shortly after the mergers took place. “The push for local control is still very strong in 海角社区,” Fairman told 海角社区 Public. “And I think that’s part of the reason that many of these school districts have pulled from their regional units.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
