With this budget, we proposed that employees forego pay

increases in order to maintain jobs in our schools. We worked with our union leaders on this

proposal. We believed that they would understand the stark

choices we face, and the trade-off of paying employees more, or paying more employees, and we were successful in limiting wage increases for FY11. We had hoped that the potential

savings of over a million dollars would be enough to preserve most of our critical positions.

Unfortunately, we still found it necessary to eliminate 31.75 FTE positions in order to limit the increase in taxes to the

7.50% recommendation endorsed by a majority of the

Municipal Officers.

Our efforts in freezing salaries, limiting hiring and

program increases, and other measures of cost

containment are still not sufficient in addressing the restrictions on our budget.

Funding for federal stimulus programs will be

included as part of the GPA this year. State funding is

now over 4 million less than 2006-07. Town

funding has been constrained although

community expectations for educational services

remain high, even as budgets and staffing are

reduced......

This budget reflects the serious economic difficulties and uncertainties we are all

facing, it also recognizes that our families depend on our schools to help our children

achieve and thrive – and that across our state, businesses

depend on our schools to help our communities to

thrive. No community, state or nation can remain

economically competitive without strong schools.

While we have worked to become more efficient in our

organization and operation, as well as to address our critical goals, we find ourselves doing

so with a budget that comes no where close to supporting

current and future needs.....

Staff Reductions

We have made reductions in school staff only as a

last resort.

Most of our budget pays for the teachers and support staff who work

every day with our students in the classroom. Even though we were

successful in limiting pay and making other reductions, we were not able to protect our classrooms entirely. Some

schools will face staff cuts because over the years their enrollments have dropped – next year we will not have the luxury to continue to buffer them from cuts as much as in the past. We will assign staff to schools based on an equitable staff-to-student ratio, unfortunately that ratio will go up slightly for 2010-2011. Due to the

economy and the ever shrinking state subsidy, we were forced to reduce our

staff by 31.75 FTE positions:

BUDGET APPROVAL PROCESS

ARTICLE - Do you wish to continue the budget validation referendum process in RSU #57 for an additional three years?

A “YES” vote will require RSU #57 to continue to conduct a referendum to validate its annual school budget for the next three years.

A “NO” vote will discontinue the budget validation referendum for at least three years and provide instead that the annual school budget shall be finally adopted at a meeting of the voters.


COST CENTER BUDGET FORMAT

11 BUDGET VALIDATION WARRANT ARTICLES


This is the third year that the school budget validation process has been in place and under law districts are supposed to vote at the ballot box on whether they want to continue the validation referendum for another three years. The law states that an article should be placed on the warrant asking voters what they want to do going forward. The following article has been placed on this year’s warrant.....


Three Years ago, the State of Maine implemented this two-step “double approval” process for district school budgets. First, the budget is presented in line item format utilizing eleven cost centers as prescribed by the state for action at a district budget meeting, similar in format to local town meetings. Voters from all six towns are requested to attend. Following the presentation of the budget, the moderator will conduct the meeting to vote on the dollar amounts for the eleven cost centers and adult education as well as a final budget amount. After the budget is approved at the district budget meeting, a referendum vote is held on the question of whether to approve or ratify the action of the prior district budget meeting.

The Format of the annual school budget must be in accordance with State Law - M.R.S.A. § 1485.

The 11 Warrant Articles which follow, represent the Total General Fund Budget which must be presented to the

Legislative Body (Registered Voters) for approval and must correspond to the categories of the Cost Center Summary Budget as presented here. (The Adult Ed Budget must be

voted seperately in Article 16).The “General Fund” Budget must be approved at this Budget Meeting, (Step 1) and then

approved again by the Budget Validation Referendum, (Step 2) which will be held on June 8th at the polling place

in each of the six towns.

INCLUDES $997,177.42

in ARRA Stabilization Funds.

American Recovery Reinvestment Act(ARRA Stabilization Funds)

REGIONAL SCHOOL UNIT #57 The “Stimulus” package was passed by the U.S. House and Senate on February 13, 2009.

The bill included considerable funds for education that was

distributed to states.

These funds were only anticipated to be available for two fiscal years at the

most. It was important that we did not become

dependent on this funding source to

support ongoing programs.

In FY10, RSU #57 received $850,637 in fiscal stabilization

funds.....
