Dear MSAD #51 Community,

I am thankful to the voters in Cumberland and North Yarmouth for supporting the budget.  Despite many challenges in developing the FY 2015-16 budget, including a drastic reduction in state subsidy, the district was still able to present a responsible budget with a modest increase of 3.6%.  Thank you to the Board of Directors, Finance Committee, and District Leadership Team for their long hours and hard work in crafting a budget that both meets the needs of our students and exercises fiscal restraint.

Sincerely, 

Jeff Porter

Superintendent of Schools
