Dear Parent/Guardian, All students in the State of Maine are eligible to receive free breakfast and lunch each school day . There is no cost to families for these meals, regardless of household income or participation in other programs. Meals served in our schools meet the nutrition standards established by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) and are designed to support student health and learning. Although meals are provided free to all students, we strongly encourage families to complete the Household Income Application .  https://rsu60msad60.nlappscloud.com Completing this form helps ensure our district receives critical state and federal funding to support students—and it may also qualify your household for several valuable assistance programs, including: • Home Energy Assistance (HEAP / LIHEAP): Helps eligible households pay for heating costs and may decrease your energy bills. • Low Income Assistance Program (LIAP): Offers credits on electric bills for LIHEAP-eligible homes. • Emergency Fuel or Crisis Assistance (ECIP): Provides help when facing a heating crisis. • Affordable Connectivity Program (ACP) + Lifeline: Discounts your internet or phone bill—up to $30/month or up to $75 for Tribal households—and may include up to $100 toward a device. If your family’s circumstances change—such as a decrease in income, increase in household size, job loss, or benefits like SNAP, TANF, or FDPIR—please update your application at any time to ensure eligibility for these and other supports. All information provided is kept confidential and shared only with officials managing school nutrition, education, and assistance programs as permitted by law. If your child has a disability, as determined by a licensed medical authority, that prevents them from eating the regular school meal, the school will provide a substitution prescribed by that authority—at no additional charge. Please contact the school for assistance with meal accommodations. Thank you for supporting our school meal program and helping ensure every child in Maine has access to nutritious, healthy meals—and that families receive all the support they qualify for. Thank you  David Vargas Director of School Nutrition david.vargas@msad60.org

Bus Right is working with the transportation department to finalize the routes.  Our Pre K program for Lebanon will be held at the Hanson School this coming year.  Other:   Mr. Tabor asked specific questions regarding the Pre-K change for the Lebanon program back to the school rather than at Blue Prints.  Ms. Clavet thanked the board for the time and energy that they give to the students of the district. She shared her reasoning.  She felt that it isn’t best practice for the students given the students and the model. It’s easier to get an EPS formula.  Mr. Tabor noted his concern about the breakdown of the private Pre-K partnership and advocated for a potential sub-committee to look at things going forward regarding the pre-k program.  Ms. Basko shared her concerns regarding the nutrition program and the freezing of funds based on the current situation with the state of Maine in conflict with executive orders.  Ms. Basko also asked about intramurals and the needs for transportation.  Ms. Janousek reiterated that she would like to participate with the potential sub committee regarding the Pre K program.  Ms. Janousek also asked about the start and end timing of schools with many students  b eing driven to school and multiple families will need to drop students at multiple locations for the Elementary start time. Ms. Janousek asked about the last day of school for students as it is also the June referendum and therefore the school is potentially going to be “remote for the vote.” The administration is working on the end of year plan for the students.   Ms. Janousek also shared national school bus driver appreciation week is next week but they are celebrating this week because next week is vacation. The Lebanon, Berwick, and North Berwick PTOs are working together to provide pastries and coffee for the bus drivers to the bus barn on Thursday morning to show some love! Ms. Herlihy asked about the police presence at arrival and dismissal at the Hussey School in particular.  Mr. Tabor shared with the board his concern regarding the 4th graders being at the Knowlton School and far away from their homes. Ms. Whalen and Ms. Wheeler asked for other solutions Ms. Janousek noted that although this is new to us here at Noble, it is not new to many different communities in the state of Maine.  Mr. Tabor noted that he felt that the reconfiguration was very quick and that we didn’t take the opportunity or time to look at the other options.   Ms. Herlihy noted that she agreed it was quick but that the way that we approach this might make a difference in how students handle this. Ms. Sewell shared her concerns as well regarding the time that the students are going to be spending away from their homes.   We will have the bus routes for the board to consider in the near future.  Public Input:  Ms. Whalen, of North Berwick, shared her own personal statement, regarding a certification letter requested by the The U.S. Department of Education to state commissioners and LEAs regarding their legal obligations under Title IX and other civil rights laws, including a request for certification of compliance.  She shared her beliefs about adhering to the current state Maine Human Rights Commission law.    Adjournment:  Ms. Janousek  made a motion and it was seconded by Ms. Wheeler  to adjourn the meeting. All members voted in favor and the motion passed.  Adjourned at 8:07 pm. Respectfully submitted, Audra Beauvais

This is one of several opportunities for students and families to get to know their new school before the first day of school in the fall. Open House Dates: April 29, 2025 – Noble Middle School For students entering 5th and 6th grades April 30, 2025 – Knowlton School For students entering 4th grade May 6, 2025 – Noble High School For students entering 7th and 8th grades Official notification with event times will be provided to students entering these grade levels.

Ms. Wheeler made the motion and it was seconded by Ms. Janousek to accept the donation of $10,000 with thanks.  All members voted in favor and the motion passed.  Other:   The Superintendent wanted to clarify the process of board members visiting the schools.  She noted that in October as a board we discussed a process whereby a board member should reach out to the Assistant Superintendent to set up tours and/or individual visits to the school. And we asked that timing be taken into consideration.  Ms. Sewell noted that she did recall the conversation but didn’t feel it was a protocol because it had not been voted on by the board. Ms. Wheeler noted that she believed it had been voted on in previous years prior to the current board because there had been some issues with board members showing up at the schools with little notice. Mr. Tabor noted that he felt that school board members have a state mandated obligation to get into the schools and talk with staff and with community members. He read the statute aloud. The board also discussed that the current school board adopted visitor policy KI did have language that gave the approval of setting the protocols up to building administration with the approval of the Superintendent. There was much discussion and the question was tabled for further conversation.  Mr. Tabor and Ms. Sewell were set to go to the Knowlton School and to Noble Middle School the following day.  Mr. Tabor then had several questions for the superintendent:  Does the district currently (this year 24-25) have any biological males playing a female sport? No Does the district allow biological males to access women’s bathrooms, women’s locker room, or women’s showers? We follow district policy and the Maine Human Rights Act  Does the district have any curricula at any grade level in any school that teaches our students that there are more than two sexes/genders? The superintendent shared that she will review this information before she shares it, to be sure that she is answering with full clarity.  Are parents informed if students asked to be called something other than their given name? We do allow students to utilize nicknames in the school.  However, we do not allow them to “change their name” without parent knowledge as this requires legal documentation.  Ms. Basko asked that we consider sending policies ACAA, ACAA-R1 and ACAA-R2. ACAA-R2   back to the policy committee for revision in light of the changes in law.  This is actually already on the docket for the policy committee for March 20th.  Ms. Basko asked about how we will respond should the state lose the federal funding if we are out of compliance with the executive orders. We are waiting from guidance from the state and we will have to handle that as soon as we know what the impact might be.  Ms. Sewell shared her beliefs about our reading program and that we need a different approach. She feels that we are utilizing an outdated program. The Superintendent shared that we are currently in the midst of reviewing the reading data and we will share it with the board when the process is complete.  Ms. Janousek shared that NBES had their 100 days celebration where each class donated items for The Back Pack Program, One Love and the North Berwick Food Pantry.  3676 items were donated. An overwhelming success.  Public Input:  Holly Dupuis   of Berwick shared with the board her belief, as a parent, that the board should call the Central Office to set up their visits.  It provides reasonable checks and balances for a board member to go into a school and ask questions. It gives a reasonable head’s up for admin and staff to organize the visit.  She also noted the positive happy vibe that is happening at the Middle School this year. In a very short period of time, wonderful things are happening and turning  NMS school around and she wanted that to be noted. She shared her positive response to the statistics that Mr. Archambault shared about the upward trends.    Ms. Herlihy of Berwick shared with the board, as a citizen, she wanted to speak directly to the families of our LGBTQ plus students and specifically trans students. She noted that while watching the news they may be feeling frightened and that their very existence is being vilified and their experiences dismissed. Please understand that this school district is better every single day that you are in it. This world is a better place for having you in it. She notes she will stand by our students and their families with love, empathy and compassion, as she would her own children. Continue being brave… to be yourself in a world that is constantly telling you to be someone else.  Ms. Janousek made the motion and it was seconded by Ms. Herlihy to go into Executive Session 1 MRSA §405(6)(D)  Labor Contract Negotiations- Teacher. All members voted in favor and the motion passed. In at 9:51 pm.

March 7, 2025 Dear Families of MSAD #60, I hope this message finds you well. The budget season is underway and as we navigate the complexities of this year’s budget process, I want to provide you with an update on the financial landscape and the steps we are proposing to ensure a sustainable future. Before delving into that update I first wanted to highlight a recently completed facilities study conducted by Harriman and Associates. The study not only looked at all of the physical aspects of the buildings but also supplied the district with a ten year enrollment study which corroborates what we have been experiencing- an overall decrease in student enrollment. The study helped the district gain a more thorough understanding of the facilities, including the strengths and areas of concerns, as we look ahead to planning for the 2025-2026 school year and beyond.  We are facing unprecedented budgetary challenges that require us to take a significant and strategic approach to balancing financial responsibility to taxpayers while maintaining the high-quality education our students deserve. As we have assessed updated information across all areas of district operations, it has become evident that structural changes are necessary to address both fiscal constraints and some space concerns within our schools. To that end, we are proposing a district-wide grade-level reconfiguration that will allow us to maximize our resources efficiently. The proposed changes include: Hussey, Hanson, and North Berwick Schools  will be for students attending Kindergarten through third grade (all towns will have Pre-Kindergarten). All district fourth-grade students  will attend Knowlton School. All district fifth and sixth-grade students  will attend Noble Middle School. All seventh-grade students  will attend Noble High School. We recognize that these proposed changes may come as a surprise. We fully understand that reconfiguring grade levels is a significant shift that will impact students, families, and staff members. However, we believe this approach allows us to consolidate educators and resources in a way that ensures we continue providing high-quality programming for students while addressing our fiscal constraints. Attached, you will find a presentation detailing our financial challenges, some specific information regarding reductions associated with the reconfiguration, and answers to some initial questions you may have. We encourage you to review this information and remain engaged as we navigate this process together.   The district is committed to ensuring timely and transparent communication throughout this entire process. To keep everyone informed, we will provide regular updates through information sessions, increased district-wide emails, and frequent postings on the district webpage.  Sincerely,  Audra Beauvais, Superintendent MSAD 60 Budget Presentation 3.6.25
