Tuitioning out Wiscasset’s high schoolers may not save money, and will not attract families, Superintendent of Schools Terry Wood said Jan. 26 as selectmen and the school committee talked in a Zoom workshop with multiple topics and a prevailing theme: The two panels should keep talking.
On the tuitioning out issue, Wood said, “I do not agree that that’s what’s best for Wiscasset . Whenever you start closing schools, you start ruining the community . It’s not necessarily going to be cheaper.” Special education and other costs also factor in, she said. “It’s not just tuition.” And Wood predicted if the high school grades were tuitioned out, some families would pull their elementary school students.
