***************************************
Happy New Year greetings from the staff at the Maranacook Area Schools (RSU #38). We are hoping that 2010 will be a happy and healthy year for all of our residents.
RSU #38 is facing the possibility of a $1.5 million reduction in revenues for the next school year. In addition, the School Board has reduced this year's budget by $309,000 with another $10,000 anticipated. This is due to a State reduction in our subsidy due to poor revenue projections.
As we struggle with the impact of these cuts, I am writing to ask everyone to help by weighing in on those items that are important to you and your children in our school budgets. There are a number of planned School Board/Budget Workshops set for 2010. We welcome your participation as we try to build a budget that addresses the needs of all of our students.
The meeting dates are:
February 9, Informational Meeting on 2010-2011 Budget with Select Boards, Town Budget Committees and School Board, Maranacook High School, 7:00 p.m.
February 22, Public Forum on 2010-2011 Budget, Wayne Elementary School, 7:00 p.m.
February 24, Public Forum on 2010-2011 Budget, Maranacook High School, 7:00 p.m.
February 25, Public Forum on 2010-2011 Budget, Manchester Elementary School, 7:00 p.m.
March 1, Public Forum on 2010-2011 Budget, Mt. Vernon Elementary School, 7:00 p.m.
