A Wiscasset parent planned to turn in to the town office Oct. 15 a petition for a town vote on the school committee’s plans to close Wiscasset Primary School.

Andrea Main said Wednesday morning that she believed she now had the required 167 signatures from Wiscasset voters; she planned to turn in the petition to the town office Wednesday afternoon.

Without a petition, the School Committee’s Sept. 15 decision would stand, with no referendum needed to close the school after this school year. Committee members have discussed moving the school’s students to Wiscasset Middle School. A plan for educating the displaced students would need to go to the state, Wiscasset school officials have said.

Main has children at both the primary and middle schools. She has said she started the petition so that everyone could have a voice in deciding whether or not to close Wiscasset Primary.
