RSU 9 starts budget discussions

FARMINGTON – On Wednesday night, the RSU 9 Board of Directors held a special meeting to discuss the proposed budget draft for the 2023-2024 fiscal year. The overall proposed budget is set at $42,028,772, an increase of $2,036,828 or 5.09% from the current fiscal year. Superintendent Christian Elkington stated that many changes in the budget are due to Elementary and Secondary School Emergency Relief (ESSER) Funds ending in Sept. 2024, and all grant funded positions and stipends will cease at that time. The positions and stipends will not be filled once the ESSER Funding ends unless directed by the Board.Read More
