Select Board hears RSU 2 projection; Dresden's share could rise about 3.5%
Summary
Board members reviewed RSU 2 budget materials indicating Dresden's share could increase roughly 3.5% (about $83,506) driven mainly by higher health insurance costs; the district vote is scheduled May 20 at Monmouth Academy.
Select Board members summarized information from RSU 2 that indicates Dresden’s share of the regional school budget could increase by approximately 3.5 — roughly $83,506 — primarily because of higher health insurance costs for staff.
Board members noted that insurance increases elsewhere are running higher (some around 18 percent) and that adult education will receive no town funding this year, though regional budget meetings in May could receive further requests. The school district vote on the budget is scheduled for May 20 at Monmouth Academy.
The board encouraged anyone with questions about line-item breakdowns to consult the RSU 2 website for budget details and noted the district’s final numbers could change before the vote.
Next step: board members will monitor RSU 2 updates and prepare any informational materials residents may need before the May 20 vote.
