Five towns approve withdrawal from RSU 20
Voters in Belfast, Belmont, Morrill, Searsmont and Swanville on Nov. 4 approved referendums to withdraw from Regional School Unit 20 and to reorganize as a new five-town school district.
Both questions needed a simple majority to pass in all five towns. It exceeded that amount handily in each case.
