Subject: Open House Error

Priority: Normal Date: Monday, May 23, 2011 11:46 AM Size: 2 KB 
Good morning- 
It has come to my attention that parents of Mildred L. Day students received a 
Tel-U-Gram that included the announcement of an Open House at the Middle School 
of the Kennebunks for this evening.  That announcement was included in the M.L. 
Day Tel-U-Gram in error.  Please be advised that the MSK Open House is only for 
parents of students in Kennebunk and Kennebunkport.  There is an Open House this 
evening for the parents of Arundel fifth-graders at Thornton Academy Middle 
School.  At this time, that is the school for Arundel's students in grades 6-8.  
I apologize for the confusion and wish all the students well as they prepare for 
the next school year. 
Sincerely, 
Andrew Dolloff 
Superintendent of Schools

For special education alone, our costs at TAMS are approximately $1,000,000 per year.
 RSU21 Unity FACEBOOK site comment regarding TYPO.
 Norm Archer There's a typo in the original file; annual cost of special services is $100K, NOT $1M.
Maybe a recommendation of proofing a document prior to sending it out would be beneficial in the future...or maybe this is part of the RSU spin of the data.

    There is always a spin on the data that is always presented, always read between the lines, and think outside of the box when it comes to anything regarding RSU 21. Consolidation was to save money, and bring communities together...it has been everything but that.

    Kind of ironic that this group pounces on every bit of mis information AKA typo that is made. Many of the NO on everything supporters spent a great deal of time mis representing information when going door to door and making phone calls. One can only hope people have the ability to see through you. No matter what the results of today are, the YES supporters should hold their heads high for trying to do things the right way for ALL!

    Because, as a person on another thread mentioned...this is just another one of the NO hate sites, all they want is another stage to grand stand on with their own form of mis-information, and lack of respect for anyone but eachother.

    The reality is, people make mistakes, and remember...an Alert Now came out shortly after that saying that there was a mistake...no one was trying to mis-lead...

    perhaps you all are so suspicious of others because that is how you all play the game. All I can say is the Yes side and the RSU has remained steady with no hate rhetoric, and admitting when it has made errors...I haven't seen that from this side, and frankly, I am voting according to that.

    Yep - there's that "gentle, civil, reasoned" discourse we're encouraged to model for our kids.
