As we watch the results coming in on the MDISchools Referenda site, the impression is that the referenda are largely going down to defeat, except where reorganization was strongly supported by the RPC and by elected officials.

Referenda have lost in SADs 4 & 46 (astoundingly negative numbers), in Jay/SAD 36, the Boothbay AOS, and Millinocket/EM/Medway.

They seem to be losing badly (but still not final) in the Five-Town CSD, in the Brewer, Dedham, et al. mash-up, and in the SADs 68, 41, etc. combo.

Allagash/MSAD 27 has won.  Orono/Glenburn/Veazie looks to be winning.

We’ll continue watching the referenda site!  We suggest you do the same!  (Great service, Brian!)

The MDISchools Referenda site now shows 7 losing, 1 winning, and the balance not yet final. Of these, at least 3 seem to be strongly negative and one positive.
