NOTES
Alternative Organzational Structures: To date, voters approved 5 AOSs.
1Includes AOS plans, a type of reorganization plan.
2Oct. 1, 2006 counts were referenced in P.L. 2007, Chapter 240, Part XXXX as the enrollments on which to apply reorganization criteria.
3Created via private/special law before passage of Reorganizational Law; voters in Georgetown, which was part of the original proposed regional unit, rejected the plan and have not submitted a plan pursuant to P.L. 2007, Chapter 240, Part XXXX.
4LD 353, the FY 10-11 state budget, enacted by the 124th Legislature and signed by the Governor on May 28, 2009, included language (Part KKKK) that allows a one-year reprieve from the penalties for these units. This is consistant with the language in LD 635, sponsored by Rep. Stacy Fitts.
5Eight island SAUs, three Maine Indian Education SAUs, and eight SAUs exempted by Private Special Law, Chapter 19, passed by the 124th Legislature, are exempt from the requirement to consolidate but must file an alternative plan showing reorganization of administrative functions to provide savings without adversely affecting instructional programming. 17 of these units have submitted a plan that was approved by the Commissioner; no voter approval is required. The 19 "exempt" units do not include Rangeley, Dallas Plt., Magalloway Plt., and Sandy River Plt. which filed a reorganization plan that has been approved by the Commissioner and is pending voter approval.
