¹ This configuration did not meet the requirements of the original law, resulting in separate submissions from each of the SAUs. Revisions to the law passed on April 18, 2008, now allow for some regional school units between 1,000 and 1,200 students. Commissioner Gendron has found the configuration meets the revised requirements of the law.

² Raymond, Windham and Westbrook initially submitted a joint reorganization plan. Commissioner Gendron subsequently approved a request by Westbrook to file an alternative plan; the Commissioner has approved Raymond and Windham to file a reorganization plan.

³Poland, Minot and Mechanic Falls initially submitted a joint reorganization plan with MSAD 15. Since then, Poland, Minot and Mechanic Falls have requested permission to file a reorganization plan separate from MSAD 15 and MSAD 15 is planning to file an alternative plan. Commissioner Gendron has approved these configurations.
