RSU 23 committee updates: district under budget; facilities upgrades completed
Summary
Finance chair Craig Evans said the district is currently under budget but warned of rising food costs; building updates include an automatic boiler shutoff at Jameson, new floor machine at Loranger, classroom lock rekeying, and a nurse office window installation.
At the Jan. 19 RSU 23 board meeting, Finance Committee chair Craig Evans reported the district is currently under budget while cautioning about rising food costs and reminding stakeholders of upcoming budget workshops.
Building committee chair Peter Flaherty described recent facility work: Jameson School received an automatic shutoff valve for boilers to prevent over-boiling; Loranger acquired a new floor machine and a nurse's office window (with a safety shade); Jameson classroom locks were converted to a keyed system giving each teacher a key; and a foot pedal in the boys' locker room sink was replaced.
The technology committee reported nothing to present. No budget votes or capital spending approvals tied to these updates are recorded in the minutes; the items appear as informational committee reports.
Board members noted the scholarship follow-up from Peter's foundation — seven students reported a combined average GPA of 3.73 for the first semester of college — and discussed upcoming board self-evaluations and weather-related remote learning possibilities.
