SABATTUS -- Litchfield, Sabattus and Wales residents on Tuesday will become the latest group of Maine voters to weigh in on their local schools' plans for complying with the state's school-district consolidation law.

But as voters make up their minds on their district's reorganization arrangement, many do not see major changes in store.

"We're changing a name," Sabattus resident Joyce Whitehouse said. "That's all we're doing."

As districts across the state prepare to merge their schools' administration with new partners, the plans in store for Litchfield, Sabattus and Wales -- the towns of School Union 44 -- stand out.

The three towns, which are currently partners in their 1,600-student school union, would remain partners under the proposed arrangement and welcome no other towns' schools into the mix.

On Tuesday, voters will decide simply if they agree with the move to change their school district's structure. Under the towns' reorganization plan -- which was among the first five in the state to gain Department of Education approval -- the school union's five school boards would merge into one, nine-member regional board.
