School Closure Vote Reminder for Residents of Eagle Lake

This is a reminder to all the residents of the town of Eagle Lake that the vote on school closure for Eagle Lake Elementary school closure:

Referendum Vote for School Closure: This has been set for Tuesday, January 24 at the Eagle Lake Town Office. (Again, this is just for the residents of Eagle Lake.)

When the voters of Eagle Lake read the article which they are voting on, the following will be stated:

Article 1: Do you favor authorizing the School Board of Maine School Administrative District No. 27 to close Eagle Lake Elementary? 

Yes:_____  No: _____

The additional cost of keeping the school open has been estimated by the School Board of Maine School Administrative District No. 27 to be $246,832.79.

A Yes vote means that you will allow the MSAD27 board of directors to close the school at the end of this school year.  All the students will attend Fort Kent Elementary School for the 2017-18 school year.

A No vote means that you do not allow MSAD27 to close the school and you would like the town of Eagle Lake will raise the additional funds to keep the school open and operational. This would result in an estimated 3 additional MILS to the residents of Eagle Lake.
