MOVING FORWARD

RSU 13 has recently adopted a Strategic Plan that provides a vision and a blueprint for our actions over the next several years. We continue to always focus on the academic and social/emotional success of our students throughout their experiences here. But we also have other areas such as facilities and finances that will require much thought, community input, discussion and decisions. These broad areas of academics, facilities and how to pay for it all remain front and center as issues the Board and Administration must address.

RSU 13 will begin a thorough examination of our eleven schools and how we should best utilize or not use a particular building. We know that we operate several small elementary schools and two small middle schools. Is that working well for the students and our finances? What are the pros and cons of keeping things status quo or making fundamental changes to the layout of our schools throughout our six towns?

We will begin these conversations with residents of all our towns very soon. Owls Head and South Thomaston residents will need to weigh in on the viability of continuing to operate such small and outdated facilities. Residents throughout the district will need to, again, enter into discussions about their two small middle schools. Is any of this a true benefit to the students and, if so, at what cost to the entire district’s taxpayers? These are the kinds of issues the Board, staff and residents will need to tackle as we move forward into the next decade.
