The state funding for FY ‘22 for the district was reduced by $607,345 or 5.98% in comparison to the funds received in FY ‘21, according to a letter from Superintendent Charles Brown.
“The reduced funding is due to several factors included in the Maine Essential Programs and Services Formula (EPS); increases in property value across the district, a decline in enrollment of students, a decline in the number of students requiring special education services, and a decline in the number of economically disadvantaged students. A new Support Educators Association contract is in negotiations and pending approval from the Board and Association that will increase support educators’ wages,” wrote Brown.
