Summary
Finance committee reported the FY2023 audit is about 95% complete with unallocated balances near $1.2M and allocated reserves about $1.4M; facilities teams described siding rot repairs, new boilers and above‑ground fuel tanks, and technology staff outlined device distribution and state cybersecurity resources.
The RSU 25 finance committee reported the FY2023 audit is approximately 95% complete, with some delays attributed to a software transition. Committee members noted unallocated fund balances of roughly $1.2 million and allocated reserves of approximately $1.4 million and said there were minor tuition cost overages.
Facilities and operations updates described an unexpectedly extensive rot issue behind siding at the middle school that was repaired with an added ventilated wall membrane; contractors extended timelines, but work continued on a new boiler, replacement of in‑ground tanks with above‑ground double‑wall 1,000‑gallon tanks, and variable‑speed booster pumps. Administrators credited facilities staff and Mechanical Services for cost savings and for addressing urgent repairs that helped avoid imminent school closures.
Technology staff reported heavy device distribution work ahead of school openings, new staff onboarding, and district participation in a state federal cybersecurity grant that provides multi‑factor authentication support and a vetted cyber‑training tool for districts opting in. The board was told district athletic streaming will shift from YouTube to HuddleTV at no charge and that enrollment counts stand around 380 districtwide, with about 346 at the high school.
Board members asked questions about schedules and costs; administrators said some project end dates will slip past the start of school but they expect operational readiness for students and will continue reporting progress to the board.
