Better band plan is needed To the editor, In July, the RSU 21 school board supported a policy presented by the principals moving fifth-grade band to recess (at Sea Road School), or morning meeting (at Mildred L. Day/Kennebunkport Consolidated School). The superintendent stated, “We are not cutting band,” in that meeting, and repeated, “We are […]

In support of resignation ad To the editor, I’m writing today in full support of Jameson Davis’ full-page ad detailing her resignation from the RSU 21 School Board (July 28, 2023). I also fully support Christine Savage’s response letter (8/4/23 issue). It is the very early stages of this lunacy which caused us to quickly […]

Future of Wedding Cake House in residents’ hands To the editor, July 24, Shirley and I attended the Kennebunk Planning Board’s public hearing on whether a Contract Zone zoning change should be given to the owners of the Wedding Cake House. We’re 47-year residents of the historic Kennebunk Landing neighborhood, the first 27 years as […]

School district initiatives are needed To the editor, I’m writing in response to Jameson Davis’ full-page resignation letter in the recent Post. I respect her decision.

Public participation sought for hearing To the editor, The town of Kennebunk is to be commended for considering a 70-unit affordable housing project like the proposed by Kennebunk Savings to go in Alewive Park Drive, across from the southbound I-95 ramp in West Kennebunk. This could be an opportunity for 70 housing units and some […]

Letter was example of disinformation To the editor, It is my hope that it was an oversight that the Kennebunk Post published letters to the editor that are anti-LGBTQIA+, and highlight the platform of individuals who are openly against policy that protects transgender/gender-expansive students in RSU 21 on June 1, the start of Pride month. […]

Candidate will care for all students To the editor, Our community will choose its next RSU 21 School Board members on June 13. For me, the one clear choice for Kennebunkport is Susan Holleran. Susan moved here with her two daughters largely due to the excellent reputation our schools enjoy. But Susan is no stranger. […]

Ask school district about policies To the editor, While we were sleeping, our school district on May 1 passed ACAAA-Transgender and Gender Expansive Students. The policy addresses the transgender, gender expansive transition enabling the school district and administration to develop and orchestrate gender affirming care of our children without parental consent but allowing “outside providers” […]

Candidate has ‘commitment to excellence’ To the editor, I am writing to express my support for Tim Spang in his campaign for the RSU 21 school board seat. I have known Tim Spang for nearly 40 years. We both have spent our entire adult lives in the construction industry in Kennebunkport. Tim has demonstrated a […]
