Welcome back! I hope you all had a wonderful and restful break. I took the kids skiing for the week. I have been going to Sunday River since I was a kid, and we spent the week up their skiing and relaxing. It is already March 7th and spring is coming our way sooner than later, I hope!Â

Legislative Update
Legislative Update
Update 2022-28 ACTION NEEDED!!!Action Needed (HB 1393-local school budget cap) However, there is an important bill to be considered by the full House in the near future. This bill has been recommended Ought to Pass by a 10-9 vote in the Municipal and County Government committee. HB 1393 would adversely affect local school districts by allowing local school districts to adopt a budget cap with a formula which is primarily based on average daily attendance of pupils. Such a formula would not take into account actual costs in the school district such as transportation contracts, fuel, or even out of district costs for special education. This would leave districts with a budget that could not even meet the basic needs of the district.Action Request Please contact your legislator by clicking the following link: Defeat HB 1393
