<P><FONT face=Arial>Mark,</FONT> </P>
<P><FONT face=Arial>We would like to invite you and other leaders of
"non-compliant" school districts from the coalition you led during the last
legislative session to a meeting regarding future initiatives. We are
proposing a noon lunch on Tuesday, November 10 here at Preti Flaherty, 45
Memorial Circle in Augusta. </FONT></P>
<P><FONT face=Arial>There has been much interest in planning a coordinated
legislative strategy for "non-compliant" communities, regardless of the outcome
of the Question 3 Referendum on November 3rd. </FONT></P>
<P><FONT face=Arial>If the referendum fails, the coalition members will need
active representation at the State House to make further changes to the existing
law to make reorganization more viable for your communities. If the
referendum passes, the education landscape of the state will be considerably
shaken and major changes will likely be made early in the next legislative
session - if that is the case your districts will need to make their collective
voice heard in the new process.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT face=Arial>Please forward this invitation along to your colleagues in
non-compliant districts across the state. Meeting a week after the
referendum will give us all a week to consider the outcome before coming
together to discuss a possible second joint initiative.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT face=Arial>Best,</FONT> <BR><FONT face=Arial>Dustin</FONT> </P>
