To the Citizens of East Millinocket:
I would like to thank all of you for your continued support of our local schools. The
East Millinocket school budget is down to the taxpayers this year, which is good
news. We are still able to provide enough funding for our programs to continue to
provide a quality education to our students.
This year has been one of the most challenging I have ever faced since entering
public education over thirty years ago. The Covid-19 virus resulted in shutting down
all schools, abruptly ending all sports and extracurricular activities and rapidly
changing the methods we use to offer instruction. At present, the future opening of
our schools in the fall is uncertain as we are awaiting advice from our governor and
legislature as well as the Center for Disease Control. Despite this chaotic dilemma,
our staff stepped up and were able to adjust and provide online and independent
study opportunities for our students. In addition, we were able hold a wonderful
graduation for our students, which followed all guidelines issued by our state
officials.
Ours schools continue to offer a quality education to our students. We continue to
expand upon our dual credit college courses and improve on our state assessments.
This past year we added college courses in outdoor education, which will provide
Maine Guide training for our juniors and seniors. We also continue to expand our
extracurricular offerings to students and collaborate with other schools to offer
programs we are unable to offer here. In addition, we send over seventy percent of
our students off to college, which is significantly higher than the national and state
averages.
I am extremely proud to have such a dedicated and hard-working faculty and staff
here in the East Millinocket Schools. The safety, security, and education of our
students always comes first. We all work as a team and we pride ourselves in being
able to cooperate and collaborate with other school systems, local agencies and our
local officials to always do what is best for our students and our citizens. Morale is
high and we all enjoy working together.
In summary, you should be very proud of the schools in East Millinocket. We have
assumed fiscal responsibility, increased educational opportunities for our students,
opened our schools to the public for after school activities, developed partnerships
with organizations to enhance offerings, and worked to integrate our students into
the community to assist with public functions and events. I encourage all of you to
stop by and visit our schools and my office is always open should you have any
ideas, suggestions, or concerns. Our schools continue to be the face of our town and
serve an integral function for all of us.
Respectfully,

To the Citizens of East Millinocket, Medway, and Woodville:
I am honored to be able to present this report to the members of our wonderful communities. I would like to
thank all of you for your continued support of our schools and the many opportunities they offer to the
students of Opal Myrick Elementary and Schenck High School. Our schools are very proud to serve and
help the many families and members of our community whenever possible.
Our education and extracurricular programs continue to be fantastic. At Opal Myrick, our teachers continue
to work extremely hard for their students. This is evident as year after year as our student continue to
achieve high scores in state mandated Math and English Language Arts tests. We are very fortunate for
their hard work and the commitment they put forth to our students.
At Schenck High School, Juniors and Seniors are able to take two or more college classes in the disciplines
of English, Math, Science, Social Studies, and Outdoor Education, meaning a student can graduate with over
30 college credits! This is an incredible opportunity for our young people which many students that attend a
school our size, do not have. We are also very thankful for the continued generosity of the Mackenzie
family who have helped make it possible for our Performing Arts programs to continue to grow and for a
new Robotics program that will get up and ruuning for the '20-'21 school year.
Our teachers and educational technicians continue to work tirelessly to provide a quality education that is
second to none in our region. Their dedication to our students really shined through as we all battled the
effects of the Covid-19 Pandemic. There work ethic, innovation, and compassion is second to none!
I am proud to serve as Principal of these fine schools and I will always continue to do my part to support our
children and community in a positive way.

15EXPLANATION OF SCHOOL BUDGET ARTICLES - CONTINUED
Increase of $12,000 due to:
Moved Hall of Fame from Extra-Curricular to this cost center
We have utilized our fund balance over the last few years to provide free
breakfast to all students, and need to continue to support the program as well
as the loss of revenue during the spring remote learning (meals still provided,
but not enough revenue to support the expenses)
Article 34 Capital Reserve Account: A Capital Reserve Account was established
during the 2016-2017 Town Meeting for the purpose of building renovations, repairs and
replacements. We are requesting to add another $20,000 to the Capital Reserve Fund.
Article 35 Special Education Reserve Account: A Special Education Reserve
Account was established during the 2017-2018 Town Meeting for the purpose of
providing special education services either in-house or in an out-of-district placement
program, depending on the needs of the student (identified in their IEP). Due to the
high costs of special education, if a current or new student requires special education
services, there may not be enough funds budgeted, and instead of returning to the town
to ask for more funds, this account acts as that emergency go-to for special education.
The intent of using this fund would only be after budgeted funds are expended. We are
requesting to add another $20,000 to the Special Education Reserve Account.
Article 36 Fuel Stabilization Reserve Account: A Fuel Stabilization Reserve Account
was established during the 2018-2019 Town meeting in case of unexpected increases
to fuel costs for heating and transportation. This fund assists us in stabilizing our
annual heating fuel costs. Instead of returning to the town to ask for more funds if we
have a really heavy/cold winter, this account acts as that emergency go-to for heating
fuel. The intent of using this fund would only be after the budgeted funds are expended.
We are requesting to add another $20,000 from our year-end balance.
Article 37 Regular Instruction Reserve Account: A Regular Instruction Reserve
Account was established during the 2019-2020 Town meeting in case of unexpected
expenses either in-house or in our tuition costs (i.e. we have a larger-than-normal class
size and need to hire additional support for the classroom or split it into two classes and
need to hire an additional teacher; or the tuition rate that we pay increases more than
anticipated). Instead of returning to the town to ask for more funds if we have an
unexpected programming change, this account acts as that emergency go-to for Pre-K
– 12 regular instruction. The intent of using this fund would only be after the budgeted
funds are expended. We are requesting to add another $20,000 from our year-end
balance.
16EXPLANATION OF SCHOOL BUDGET ARTICLES - CONTINUED
Article 38 Technology Reserve Account: We are requesting the establishment of a
Technology Reserve Account. This fund would be to support technology in the case of
unexpected expenses (need for replacement or additional computers/laptops/tablets,
upgrading of networks, replacement/repairs of in-house servers, etc). Instead of
returning to the town to ask for more funds if we have an unexpected technology issues,
this account acts as that emergency go-to. The intent of using this fund would only be
after the budgeted funds are expended. We are requesting to establish this account
with $10,000 from our year-end balance.
Article 39 Food Service Reserve Account: We are requesting the establishment of a
Food Service Reserve Account. This fund would be to support the food service
program in the case of unexpected expenses (replacement/repairs of equipment:
cooler, refrigeration, dishwasher; support of the program – this spring, we continued to
supply meals to students and families, but did not receive enough in subsidy to cover
these costs). Instead of returning to the town to ask for more funds if we have anY
unplanned expenses, this account acts as that emergency go-to. The intent of using
this fund would only be after the budgeted funds are expended. We are requesting to
establish this account with $10,000 from our year-end balance.
