On August 19, 2025, MSAD27 brought forth a budget reduction of $436,410 from the original first proposed budget on June 10. Now, after the August 19 budget failure, which was by just 11 votes, the board is proposing a third draft of the budget and has identified an additional $86,905 in tax assessment savings to the taxpayers. This is a total REDUCTION of $93,911 from last year's tax assessment.
MSAD27 is urging all stakeholders, especially parents and staff, to vote on the school budget again on October 16, 2025. The polling hours on that day are as follows:
- Fort Kent Town Office: 10:00am: 6:00pm
- New Canada Community Center: 2:00pm - 6:00pm
- St. Francis Community Center: 2:00pm - 6:00pm
- St. John Plt Community Center: 2:00pm - 6:00pm
- Wallagrass Community Center: 12:00pm - 6:00pm
If you are unable to vote on October 16 due to the limitations of the ballot hours or if you will be out of the area, you can get your absentee ballot now and return it to your town office. Please contact your town office to see when they are accepting absentee ballots. You can download and print copies for each of our communities here: https://bit.ly/4nGmuF2
