RSU 14 board certifies budget referendum results and approves tax assessment warrants

The Windham Raymond School District board on June 17 formally certified the results of the recent RSU 14 budget referendum and authorized the district to issue tax assessment warrants for fiscal year July 1, 2026–June 30, 2027.

A motion to approve the computation and declaration of votes and to enter certified results into the RSU 14 records passed during the meeting; the board directed that certified copies be provided to each municipal clerk within the regional school unit. The board also approved the warrant for assessment of tax, the assessment schedule and installment notices and authorized the treasurer to deliver those documents to each member municipality.

Superintendent Christopher Howell (identified by name later in the meeting) and several board members noted the referendum had broad public support; board member Joe Kelner thanked the public for supporting the budget by referendum and described it as a “barebones budget” produced with difficult choices. The superintendent reminded the board that several routine end‑of‑year tasks remain, including signing official warrants for Windham and Raymond.

No vote tallies were recorded in the transcript; motions were called and recorded as adopted with the repeated minute entry “Motion carries.” The board’s actions complete the post‑referendum certification and enable the district treasurer to notify member municipalities of assessment schedules.
