RSU 23 board approves remote learning days in place of snow days for 2022–23
Summary
The RSU 23 school board voted unanimously Oct. 20 to offer remote learning days in lieu of snow days for the 2022–23 school year; the finance committee discussed how the change could affect the budget.
At its Oct. 20 meeting, the RSU 23 school board voted unanimously to offer remote learning days in lieu of traditional snow days for the 2022–23 school year. The motion to adopt remote learning in place of snow days was made by board member Peter Flaherty and seconded by board member Sally Beatty.
Finance committee member Dave told the board the finance committee reviewed district finances that day and said the district remains "on track for what we budgeted" but that the committee discussed how implementing remote learning in place of snow days could affect the budget. The minutes state the board approved the proposal unanimously.
The change affects how instructional days will be counted and how the district responds to inclement weather. The board's acceptance signals the district will rely on remote instruction when snow would otherwise close buildings; specific operational details about remote-day expectations were not specified in the minutes.
