SALEM – SAD 58 directors will vote today to approve the results of Tuesday’s referendum passing the district’s nearly $9.5 million budget.
The meeting at Mt. Abram High School will open at 6:30 p.m with a public hearing on the budget referendum. Superintendent Quenten Clark will explain the budget, and comments will be welcome.
Also at the meeting, Kim Jordan of Kingfield will be sworn in as a new board member. She will finish the term of Sonya Dearborn, who resigned. Dearborn had already served one term and completed one year of her second term.
Dearborn said she and her husband recently purchased a second business, and her hours would not allow her to continue on the board.
“I would never be able to make a meeting,” she said.
Dr. Ann Schwink of Strong, an osteopath with the Strong Area Health Center, was also elected, to replace Stacy Dunham on the board. She will be sworn in next month.
In other business, Mt. Abram High School teacher Barry London will make a presentation to the board on a governance charter.
Clark said the charter “is a plan the high school teachers put together to reflect how decisions will be made at Mt. Abram High School.”
He added that the teachers have had a faculty senate in the past but want more input from students and parents.
