OXFORD — School Superintendent Rick Colpitts said a plan has been developed to replace the tractor stolen from the Otisfield Community School last week.
“We had budgeted the purchase of a new tractor for another school. We will have to reallocate that to replace the tractor at Otisfield,” he said.
On Monday, he told the Oxford Hills School District Board of Directors that someone had stolen a riding tractor from the school on Powhatan Road by cutting the lock of the storage unit where the tractor was stored.
The tractor, which Colpitts said was worth about $900, was not covered by the school’s insurance, which has a $1,000 deductible.
In other school news this week, Colpitts reported that negotiations with the secretaries, Ed Tech II and III and the supervisors concluded successfully on Tuesday. The contracts must be ratified by both parties first before details of the new contracts are released.
The Board of Directors is expected to take up the issue at the August meeting.
