BATH
Two Morse High School students who fared well in a televised game show will make a presentation during Monday night’s Regional School Unit 1 meeting.
The RSU 1 Board of Directors meets at 6 p.m., at West Bath School.
Seniors Elizabeth Walfield and Connor Quigg displayed their aptitude for mathematics and the sciences to reach the semifinals of a game show called “MEST UP.” The Morse High team won two games, and fell to eventual champion Kennebunk in the semifinals.
WPXT aired MEST UP in early September.
After the presentation, the Cost-Sharing Committee will deliver a report on the ongoing effort to reach an agreement with the five unit towns.
Three of the towns appear to be on board with a proposal to base the allocation on perpupil costs by fiscal year 2014. Town officials in West Bath and Woolwich, however, indicated they would like to wait until the 2015 budget cycle.
Chairman Tim Harkins said the board had hoped for consensus on a cost-sharing proposal. Harkins pointed out the board has the responsibility to come up with a budget for the 2014 fiscal year.
The Woolwich Building Committee will be the first to read its report Monday night. In September, strong winds lifted fiberglass solar shading panels from the front entrance of the newly renovated Woolwich Central School, and collided with the roof. The impact caused considerable damage.
