DEER ISLE—The school board election held Saturday, March 7, in Deer Isle and scheduled for Stonington Friday, March 13, have both been voided. The announcement was made in a public memo from Union 76 Superintendent Chris Elkington released late Wednesday, March 11. The contest between William “Bill” Shepard and incumbent Lawrence P. “Skip” Greenlaw was voided, the memo reported because warrants for the election were not posted in a timely manner as specified by state statute. The school board will have a special meeting Thursday, March 1, at 6:30 p.m. to decide how to proceed. In the now voided election, Sheppard had outpolled Greenlaw by a margin of 167-138.
The full text of the Superintendent’s memo appears at the end of this article on page 3.
At the annual Town Meeting Saturday March 4, voters approved all funding requests and warrant articles, which amount to $1,561,074 in total spending, on Saturday, March 7.
Only about 75 people attended the meeting at the Reach Performing Arts Center while estimates of as many as 800 attended a cheering competition next door at the Deer Isle-Stonington High School gym.
