Residents concerned over proposed arts cuts


KENNEBUNK — Two weeks after the initial reading of the proposed 2013 fiscal year school budget, the RSU 21 school board heard from the public during their Monday night meeting. Approximately 25 taxpayers gathered in Kennebunk Elementary School and seven different people took to the podium to voice their opinion or ask questions about the budget.

Chairman of the Finance Committee, Kevin Knight, began by giving a brief overview of the $35.9 million budget, which represents a $246,789 or .69% increase. Public questions and comments ranged from cuts to the art department to the budget's tax impact on the three towns.
