RSU 21 budget increase is less than 1 percent
The $35.9 million fiscal year 2012-2013 budget was cleared by voters
at a Regional School Unit 21 budget meeting May 1, and will proceed to a
budget validation referendum vote May 15.
The budget reflects an increase of .69 percent or approximately $246,000 from the current budget and includes 12 staff cuts.
Andrew Dolloff, superintendent of RSU 21, said there has been such
little discussion about the budget because of the hard work the
administration and the board of directors did to create a solid budget.
“What we saw here tonight was at least a group of individuals in this
room who realized that the administration and the board have done what
they can to control spending,” Dolloff said.
The RSU 21 Board of Directors approved the budget on April 2,
trimming a total of 12 positions, including a Kennebunk High School art
teacher; three special education technicians; a development officer in
charge of public relations; one part-time math-science teacher; one
part-time counselor at Kennebunk High School; three office positions;
one custodian and a bus driver.
