On March 13, 2018, Waterville, Winslow, and Vassalboro residents voted to dissolve AOS 92 by 253 votes. Each town became their own independent school department on June 30, 2018. The votes were 183–58 in Waterville, 122–62 in Winslow, and 81–13 in Vassalboro; a snowstorm caused the turnout to be lower. On July 1, 2018, the district ceased to exist.

Winslow Schools were in the process of developing a new school system to get rid of the junior high, and send the 6th graders to the elementary, and add on for 7th and 8th graders at the high school, plus a new auditorium. A 600-seat one was included in a November 2017 referendum, but failed. A 415-seat one was included in a June 2018 referendum, and passed.
