SAU 57 district budget to go before voters will be up 1.89 percent over current year.
Between their preliminary and final votes last week, the Salem Budget Committee trimmed just over $82,000 from the 2013-2014 SAU 57 budget. The final general fund budget voters will consider next year will be $58.4 million with an overall gross budget of $62.2 million. The budget is up 1.89 percent over the present year. That $82,000 cut included several amendments proposed by School Board representative Michael Carney, Jr., as a result of the district filling an IT position at a lower cost than budgeted.

"Some of these answers need to be followed up," Campbell said. He moved to postpone both committee meetings this week to next week as a result. "You can't vote on $62 million of this stuff just rushing through it," he said. Chairman Russell Frydryck said the information had been e-mailed to him Tuesday afternoon but he was unable to distribute it to the rest of the committee until Wednesday morning. Other …

There may be as many as three warrant articles related to the 2013 renovation plans.
The Salem School Board voted Tuesday night for a school renovation plan that would provide extensive renovations for Fisk and Soule Elementary Schools and partial renovation work at Haigh Elementary School. The final wording for the bond articles for the 2013 school warrant will be voted on at a meeting next week, but the general framework of the board's desires was agreed to unanimously Tuesday. An initial article would provide for Fisk and Soule renovations without additional classrooms and a large multi-purpose room. The bonded number mentioned for that renovation would be $15.8 million. Additionally, about $369,000 would be bonded for work at Haigh. A second article would include an additional $805,000 in renovations for Haigh, …
