WALES — The fates of Sabattus Primary School and Libby-Tozier School were discussed at the Regional School Unit 4 school board meeting on Wednesday evening.
The process of construction, the potential of combining these schools, the cost for architectural design and the effect on next year’s school budget were some of the things the board analyzed, Superintendent Jim Hodgkin said.
Hodgkin explained that this is only the beginning phase of the project. Moving forward, he will prepare instructions for the board illustrating the details of the consolidation and construction process.
