2010-2011 Budget Information
The draft 2010-2011 MSAD #15 School Budget will be presented to the School Board and the public for comment, adjustment and eventual adoption beginning with an overview by Superintendent Burns at the February 24th School Board meeting at the New Gloucester Meeting House. Administrators will provide a full cost center presentation to the public and School Board on Saturday, March 6th from 9:00 to 3:00 at the High School Cafetorium. An agenda for the day is posted on this web site if you are interested in a particular cost center and not available for the entire day’s presentation.
Administrators and members of the School Board’s sub-committees did the “up front” work that resulted in this first draft. On March 6th, the entire School Board and community will have the opportunity to review the budget’s content and spend the next several months debating what will ultimately be deleted or added to create the final School Board budget. The Board will present its budget to the public for ratification on June 8th, 2010.
The loss of significant state subsidy for education has shaped MSAD #15’s budget development and will continue to do so for several years. It is vital, therefore, for the School Board to receive public feedback as it problem-solves how to maintain quality educational opportunities for our students as revenue declines.
In order to have as much public input and scrutiny as possible on the final 2010-2011 budget, the Board appointed a Budget Advisory Committee whose mission is to provide community oversight and input on the budget deliberations. MSAD #15 appreciates the following Gray and New Gloucester community members who have volunteered their time for this important work.
