RSU 35 board adopts several second‑reading policies; budget workshops continue
Summary
The RSU 35 board approved second‑reading adoptions of four district policies (EBBD, CBI, CB‑E, EAG), confirmed upcoming budget workshops and materials online, and recorded unanimous voice votes for the measures presented.
RSU 35/MSAD 35 trustees voted to adopt multiple district policies on second reading at the meeting, while continuing line‑by‑line review in public budget workshops.
The board approved the second reading and adoption of policy EBBD (temperature in schools). The board then approved policy CBI (supervision and evaluation of the superintendent), policy CB‑E (superintendent job description) and policy EAG (student transportation — private). Each motion was moved, seconded, and recorded as in favor by voice vote.
During the report of the chair and subsequent discussion, trustees reiterated that the budget currently under workshop review is proposed and subject to change. Staff confirmed the budget presentation slides and a budget book with clickable links are posted on the district website; staff also said a re‑recorded voiceover was uploaded after a technical failure with the prior meeting’s streaming.
The board’s finance committee reported healthy cash balances and that adult education shows a small surplus that is expected to be spent down by year end. Trustees said the district has state approval to purchase additional buses for delivery in 2027, with payments beginning in 2028.
Why it matters: Adopting these administrative policies implements school‑district governance and personnel frameworks; continued budget workshops signal that the proposed budget remains subject to change before final adoption.
