DICK LEWIS, ORONO SCHOOL BOARD – ORONO SCHOOL DISTRICT REFERENDUM, <br />Continued) <br /> <br />Murphy concurred with the request that the letter be sent. Murphy inquired whether there is any <br />organized effort to defeat this referendum. <br /> <br />Lewis stated he is not aware of any organized opposition to the referendum at this point. <br /> <br />Murphy expressed a concern that some of the extracurricular activities are becoming too cost prohibitive <br />for the residents. <br /> <br />Lewis stated from a legislative point of view, some significant changes should be made in how schools <br />are funded but that the school district would make every effort to see that no child is left out if they truly <br />cannot afford to participate in a particular activity. <br /> <br />Sansevere suggested donations be taken to help offset some of the costs for the people who cannot afford <br />certain activities. <br /> <br />4.
