LIVERMORE FALLS – The Intermediate Learning Center has a new name.

As of last week’s action by the SAD 36 Board of Directors, the building will be known as the Cedar Street Learning Complex.

Originally built in the 1960s as the Livermore Falls Grammar School, the structure has housed students of many ages since then and is now home to the Livermore Falls Head Start, Phase I of a renovation project.

During school vacation next week, the central office will move into the building, completing Phase II of the project. After vacation, work will begin on Phase III, preparing the remaining classrooms to house grade 6 next year, Superintendent Terry Despres announced.

Next year sixth-graders will come into the new CSLC, taking their core classes there in the morning and then moving up to the Middle School for lunch.

After lunch they will remain at the Middle School, taking the rest of their subjects including physical education, art and home economics.

That plan will allow disposal of the portable classrooms at the Middle School along with the one now outside the Complex.

Another goal has been accomplished, Despres reported, with the removal of the old house at the corner of Highland Avenue and Griffin Field, which had been used as a training exercise by the fire department.

In other business, the board approved a request for a field trip to the Monmouth Theater May 30 so the fifth-graders can see “Sword and Stone,” a request from Carrie Mitchell, grade 4 teacher, for maternity leave for the remainder of the school year; and from Bonnie L. Campbell, grade 1, for a leave of absence to teach in Alaska.

Chairman Denise Rodzen urged her fellow directors to get their nomination papers into circulation if they are planning to run in the June elections. The deadline is April 25.

Some of the newer members of the board, who had been appointed, were unaware they must now run for the remainder of their terms.

A majority of the board is up for re-election this year including Cindy Young, Kim LaVoie, Ashley O’Brien and Sue Madden from Livermore; and Jackie Knight, Eric Rodzen, Betsy DuBois and Russell Flagg from Livermore Falls.

Flagg has said he is not running as he is seeking a seat on the Board of Selectmen, and there is one position from Livermore Falls that is currently unfilled on the 13-member Board of Directors.
