Select Board places RSU 1 school‑budget validation referendum on warrant
Summary
The Select Board voted to add an RSU 1 warrant article calling a school budget validation referendum to the town warrant; the agenda insertion followed a community letter and public discussion about sending students to a new Bath school.
The Select Board moved to add to the warrant an RSU 1 notice of election calling a school‑budget validation referendum. Speaker 5 read a letter from Patrick Manuel summarizing prior community engagement about whether Phippsburg students should attend the new Bath elementary school once built; the letter and community notes have been made available and staff confirmed copies would be kept at Town Hall and the school.
Board members asked procedural questions about the validation referendum and the upcoming public meeting and candidate night, and the motion to add the RSU 1 validation referendum to the warrant was moved, seconded and approved without roll‑call detail recorded in the transcript. Speaker 5 urged residents to contact the RSU 1 superintendent's office with questions and noted the validation referendum will be on the warrant for voters to consider.
