FRYEBURG, Maine — MSAD 72 voters approved every warrant article tied to the district’s $25 million budget Wednesday, though discussion over the superintendent’s salary sparked debate.
About 150 people attended the 7 p.m. meeting at Molly Ockett Middle School. MSAD 72 covers Brownfield, Denmark, Fryeburg, Lovell, Stoneham and Sweden in Maine.
