In November 2008, the citizens of Falmouth rejected a reorganization plan to consolidate[2] with the nearby district of SAD 51, which comprises Cumberland, Maine, and North Yarmouth, Maine. Falmouth has since filed and had approved an alternative reorganization plan[3] allowing it to remain an independent district.
