The committee first approved the consent agenda, which included adoption of the meeting agenda, approval of the Aug. 6, 2025 minutes and the superintendent’s recommended certified contracts for Lisonbee Thompson and Haley Wertner. The motion carried without objection.

Business Manager Amanda Kuchar presented a motion to reallocate $34,369 of unspent FY22 CIP bond funds to cover additional costs for four projects: the middle-school portable at Auburn Middle School, a Park Avenue condenser unit, new Walton shelving and the district CIP master plan. Kuchar said three of the projects had been budgeted in the FY22 CIP bond and the Walton shelving was a new project caused by a room relocation; the shelving purchase—about $7,500—was to avoid anchoring shelving into the building frame. The committee voted to approve using $34,369 in FY22 CIP bond funds; the motion carried.

The committee then voted to move $446,000 from Article 5 (Student and Staff Support) to other FY25 cost centers that were overspent. Amanda Kuchar explained staff reviewed draft FY25 expenditures in advance of the audit and recommended reallocating $446,000 to better match actual expenditures. The transfers were listed in the motion as: Article 2 (Special Education) $46,000; Article 4 (Other Instruction) $10,000; Article 6 (Other Instruction) $66,000; Article 7 (Other Instruction) $63,000; and Article 8 (Transportation) $261,000. The motion cited \"Title 20-A section 1485 paragraph 4,\" as the statutory authority cited in the meeting for the transfer. The committee approved the transfer; the motion carried.

Committee members asked for context on the transportation overspend. Kuchar said unbudgeted purchased services—specifically Northeast Transportation covering two bus runs—were a significant factor and that the district is reviewing transportation budgeting to prevent recurrence. City Council representative Adam Platt noted the practice of truing up cost centers is common and said he was aware it had been done in prior years.

No votes failed or were tabled during the meeting; the motions carried as recorded in the meeting minutes.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","City of Auburn, Maine, School Committee Meeting, August 20, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","The committee approved a consent agenda that included two certified contracts, authorized $34,369 from FY22 CIP bond funds for capital adjustments and approved $446,000 in intra-fund transfers to cover FY25 overspent cost centers.","taxTitle","Auburn Public Schools, School Districts, Maine","taxId",66949,"location","Maine","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":77,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":78,"_41":79,"_43":80,"_45":81,"_47":82,"_49":83,"_51":84,"_53":85,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":86,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":87,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6487416,"Auburn Public Schools says summer programs served about 315 students; credit recovery, MLL support highlighted",152,388000,540000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5611415-9a87580c9d7f246de53255153f847339&start=388&end=540","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5611415-9a87580c9d7f246de53255153f847339/thumbnail_388000.jpg","/articles/6487416/Maine/Auburn-Public-Schools-says-summer-programs-served-about-315-students-credit-recovery-MLL-support-highlighted","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6487416-fd41af590892da8a14e99ef4464a5497/orig.mp4?Expires=1776559711&Signature=bX2MYRVvuPWmKqvIpHTq7Dk8TwfTlUrE7Wm5CMjfJB87zl21qujcNg6R7G-FYQfkn5b72T1XWILKdnIC51l6fR7vW0vIVd1AbVuF6DQZQgloIToHfv2E7t6VlRI~8o2qLd0cfs-WF~wCzuZFECSTjp68hJ-EbS2tMX-gGw9mCNFDCTE9fPtIgNJ0ybvirIquPR1oo6l0X5Tcsg1c4erLlFPmpl1pNMuMNIYRTb4xz23mBDTBsEPg-yM4mGhegc8DMtJS3f8gahdyq7YuTjsV30bthk9M2q2MdsHDwJkQNM0UwCb-2OXZ0LLdyt54aPxRsQmd3NIuILrIoswcR~s54g__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","District officials told the Auburn School Committee that summer programs across Auburn Public Schools served roughly 315 students and combined credit recovery, targeted tutoring and enrichment activities to support fall readiness.

Dr. Sue Doris, superintendent, introduced the update at the committee meeting and said the district ran programs in every building from kindergarten through 12th grade to provide literacy, math and social-emotional supports. \"The buildings were busy this summer,\" she said.

The district reported a range of program offerings and outcomes. Assistant Superintendent Scott Inneer described elementary and intermediate programs (K–6) at East Auburn, Fairview, Park Avenue, Sherwood, Walton and Washburn that provided small-group or one-on-one tutoring for literacy and math in 60–90 minute sessions up to three times per week. Sherwood Heights hosted rotating literacy, math and STEAM sessions including robotics, digital art and animation. Fairview combined tutoring with a Junior Achievement–style program rooted in students' IEP goals.

At the secondary level, Edward Little High School offered credit recovery: staff reported about 22 students recovered the equivalent of 40 half-credits. Franklin’s summer program also provided intensive academics plus outdoor learning and recovered 8.5 credits, the district said. Auburn Middle School ran a Camp Rise program for seventh- and eighth-graders, with roughly 20 students participating; staff reported 21 students showed improved academic standing.

Multilingual learner (MLL) summer enrichment served newcomer students. Alice Crawford (listed in the meeting as a staff member involved with MLL summer programming) told the committee her group of 12 students met in July and August and used place-based, nature-focused activities to reinforce academic skills and build confidence. \"All of the students had to choose an animal and learn about it,\" Crawford said, describing a presentation at Maine Wildlife Park that also gave students experience speaking in front of unfamiliar audiences.

At Park Avenue, staff member Stephanie Maris said the school provided a different model that combined academic support with themed enrichment weeks. Park Avenue served 27 students and logged more than 900 service hours, Maris said, adding staff focused on reading, writing, language development and life skills such as name recognition and responding to basic \"who/what/where\" questions for students who arrived from out of district.

Assistant Superintendent Inneer and other staff emphasized high attendance and positive instructional reports across sites; Washburn was noted as hosting 28 students with strong attendance. Overall, district staff said programs strengthened social-emotional learning and community connections and should improve student readiness for the school year.

Committee members asked about staffing levels and credit definitions. Business Manager Amanda Kuchar said staffing varied by building — generally two to five staff per site, approximately 20–30 staff districtwide across programs. Kuchar explained high-school credits are semester-based: one semester equals one-half credit; combinations of half-credits can add to a full credit.

The committee did not take an action on the presentation; it was a report to inform members ahead of the start of school later in August.","At an Auburn School Committee meeting, district staff reported that roughly 315 students participated in a range of summer programs offering credit recovery, tutoring, and multilingual learner enrichment across K–12 schools.","actionData","errors"]
