The Embden Board of Selectmen are holding a public hearing on Thursday, May 29th, 2025, at 6:30 p.m. at the Embden Community Center.  This hearing is for Embden residents to learn more about the work done by a committee of town members since January to explore the possible withdrawal of Embden students from RSU# 74. 

This meeting is only a hearing.  A vote is not taking place at this meeting.

The purpose of this hearing is to provide Embden residents with more information regarding a vote taking place on June 10^th.  The vote on June 10^th will be to form a formal committee who will work in conjunction with the Maine Department of Education to determine the viability of an Embden withdrawal from RSU #74.  The vote on June 10^th is not to decide to withdraw Embden from RSU #74, but to move forward with exploring the viability of doing so.
