Community Survey  2012
RSU 1 is facing another challenging budget situation with decreased revenues and increased costs. It is projected that the district will need to reduce the 2012-2013 budget by approximately $1,000,000. Considering the current budget is approximately $25,000,000, this will represent a significant reduction that will affect programs and services. The RSU 1 Board of Directors has developed a budget survey, similar to last year, and we would ask that you take a few minutes to complete this valuable survey. Your input is valued and the Board of Directors hopes that you will continue to be involved throughout the budget process.

The deadline for completing the survey is Thursday, January 31st.  Please note that this survey will only allow one respondent from an IP address.  If multiple people in a household want to complete the survey but do not have access to additional computers, please visit or call the RSU 1 Central Office where your responses can be recorded manually.  Thank you in advance for completing this survey.

********************

RSU 1 is in the process of discussing the School Choice policy and whether the district will continue to provide transportation in the future. A small committee has been examining this issue and collecting data related to the cost, as well as the logistical concerns. The Board of Directors plans to discuss this item at their January 23rd meeting at 6:00pm. Please feel free to contact Superintendent Manuel at 443-6601 if you have any questions or concerns.
