After two meetings to make significant budget cuts, the board will reconvene to address the rejected $32.25 million budget.

After a feud between the teachers association and the school board resulted in a failed budget, Kingfield residents began looking into proceeding independently.

School members representing Litchfield, Sabattus and Wales agreed to send an $18.5 million budget package to voters.

Ross Clair of Chesterville asked, “Do we have any meat and potatoes where we’re going to make some cuts tonight?”

Avon passed budget 17-3, Kingfield 54-10, Strong 54-18, and Phillips 18-17.

Brian Twitchell, who resigned as a Mt. Abram High School teacher because of issues with the district, says it’s about ‘what’s best for the kids.’
