ROCKLAND — Kicking the can down the road, and a kid throwing a wallet into the road with a string attached, acting as a lure that yanks away the wallet each time a grab is attempted. Rockland City Councilors used both analogies during the Monday, Jan. 5, agenda-setting meeting to describe a continued impasse regarding the former McLain School.
Following a meeting between RSU 13 administrators and two council members, a letter of directive is being devised by the City, mandating that the school board vote officially on when the transfer will take place, and for Superintendent John McDonald to provide, in writing, a plan and a timeline for his staff’s vacating the Lincoln Street property, if at all.
