RSU 39 sets budget schedule, public meeting on May 22 and referendum on June 11

District staff told the RSU 39 School Board the budget calendar and next steps during the regular meeting. The staff member said the board will hold the current meeting, potentially reconvene for a workshop on April 10 and again on April 24 if needed, and has scheduled a public budget meeting for May 22, followed by the budget validation referendum on June 11.

The Chair clarified there are two public-comment opportunities related to the budget process—one at the current meeting and one at the end of the forthcoming budget workshop—and invited anyone who signed up and still wished to speak to do so now. Staff member indicated there were no public comments at the meeting.

No budget amounts, proposed tax impacts, or detailed line-item proposals were discussed in the recorded segments; staff said the schedule will depend on how the budget development process unfolds and additional workshops may be scheduled as needed.

Next procedural dates recorded in the transcript: potential budget workshop on April 10, optional meeting on April 24, public budget meeting on May 22, and budget validation referendum on June 11.
