Show Notes
Cumberland and North Yarmouth in Maine are debating a review of their school cost-sharing formula, with Cumberland officials pushing for a change and North Yarmouth leaders opposing it. The towns share costs for Maine School Administrative District fifty-one, and the current formula is tied to property values. Both towns are reviewing their budgets and property values, but North Yarmouth officials worry that a review could lead to bigger tax hikes and strain relations between the towns. The school board will consider formal requests from both sides, but the topic was skipped at the last meeting. Long-term enrollment studies and new housing rules could also impact the cost-sharing formula in the future.
