Board approves Mid Maine adult education budget after questions on fluctuations
Summary
The RSU 18 board voted unanimously to approve the district's share of the Mid Maine Regional Adult Education budget after members pressed staff on inconsistent line-item history and pandemic-related fluctuations.
The board approved the district’s FY27 contribution to Mid Maine Regional Adult Education after a staff presentation and questions about year-to-year budget variances. A staff member (S2) said the district’s portion is about $70,000 in expenses offset by roughly $20,000 in state subsidy; the program ran approximately 25 classes last fall with about 171 participants.
Board member Sarah moved to approve the adult education budget; Andy seconded. The Chair called the vote and recorded it as unanimous. Board members asked staff to provide historical detail on printing/advertising and coding of director wages; staff explained some fluctuations were pandemic-driven and that director wages had previously been coded under contracted services in NFY25.
