I live in the largest school district in Maine. S.A.D.# 9.
They have done less than nothing toward getting off oil. First they have done nothing about heating all their building with anything but oil. What do they care just raise taxes, high oil prices don't scare them.
Talk about stupid, they just closed a school in Weld and are now going to not only buss junior high and high school kids 20 plus miles but are also going start another buss at a later time and buss the smaller kids too now.
A much better choice would have been to have the older kids go to that school too, which would have not only reduced oil use but would have saved money on buss divers, busses, all the problems that large schools have with gangs etc., and the kids would not have to be in town at 7:00 AM every morning for the ride to Farmington.
It would have saved them money and that small school could have easily been converted to a non-oil fired heating system.
So what’s your schools doing? Raising taxes so they can send more money to oil producing countries and pollute our air or are they getting smart?
