RSU 50 budget meeting is Wednesday

14 years ago

STACYVILLE, Maine — Members of the RSU 50 school board will hold a special meeting Wednesday at 6:30 p.m. in the Katahdin Elementary School cafeteria to discuss the 2011-12 budget. Among the items to be discussed is a proposal to eliminate three teaching positions at Southern Aroostook Community School and one at Katahdin Elementary School. All four were elementary positions that are currently vacant in the two schools. Those positions include a kindergarten vacancy, fifth-grade vacancy and sixth-grade vacancy all at SACS and a third-grade vacancy at Katahdin Elementary School.
Because voters defeated the $9.2 million spending plan, the RSU 50 board must present a new budget to the public before having a second referendum vote on the matter. The meeting is open to the public.
