While alternate consolidation plans were approved, the superintendents said it does not mean their towns are closer to choosing which possible plan they will decide upon.

“I think it’s still wide open,” said Sandy Prince, superintendent of the Windham school department. “Basically, Windham’s looking at three options.”

Windham’s approved plans are to stand alone, consolidate with Raymond or consolidate with Raymond and Westbrook.

“We’re just going to take some time to figure things out,” said Prince.

Stan Sawyer, superintendent of the Westbrook school department, said the field of possible courses of actions has not narrowed. His department’s three plans were approved, which included standing alone, consolidating with Raymond and consolidating with Windham and Raymond.

“I think they’re still serious discussion to go forward on consolidation,” he said. “I think a lot of the work will be done by subcommittees.”

“We still have a long way to go,” Sawyer added.
