GREENVILLE, Maine — Years of discussion and weeks of speculation ended Monday when the Greenville School Committee voted 3-2 to close the Nickerson Elementary School this fall.
The approximately 90 elementary pupils are expected to be moved into the Louis Oakes building, which houses the middle and high schools, sometime in late October after renovations and upgrades of the heating, ventilation and air conditioning system in the Oakes building have been completed.
Committee members John Cobb and Mike Theriault voted against the move.
“We don’t have an exact date,” Greenville Superintendent Beth Lorigan said Tuesday. She said the move is being made because of air quality concerns in the Nickerson school, dwindling enrollment and the need to provide quality education within the fiscal limitations at the town and state levels.
