There’s a regular school board meeting tonight:
Wednesday, March 19, 2008 - 7:00 p.m., Marshwood High School

Here’s an article from Portsmouth Herald about the meeting:
SAD 35 to discuss school budget tonight
Portsmouth Herald News
School Administrative District 35 wants to spend more money in 2008-09, but it’s expecting to get less aid from the state…

Here’s a summary of tonight’s agenda:
(more…)

The SAD 35 School Board will be discussing a proposed policy that will allow parents from other towns to tuition their children into SAD 35 schools. The information was published in the last SAD 35 newsletter, but the School Board has not had much feedback from the community. The School Board will be discussing the proposed policy at the March 19th and April 2nd meeting. They allow public input on all agenda items.

The policy, described as a measure to increase revenues and maintain programs and services, would allow a student from another community to attend a SAD 35 school following a formal request for admission, approval by the Superintendent, and the payment of tuition at the state-approved rate plus the cost of any special education or other extraordinary services provided to the student. Parents would be responsible for transportation. The policy also includes a clause that retroactive tuition will be assessed for students found to be nonresidents and ineligible for enrollment under law or board policy.
