It sickens me that Chris Hyck and Wayne Corey of Belfast did not get
elected. The only 2 that have consistently focused on the outrageous 32
million RSU20 budget with high school honor students unable to get
mandated college courses with live teachers and told to wait till next
year and so on. Guidance selling the students short. Most elected to the
board have young children and are focused on getting lower school art
programs and do not want to cut any teachers.Talk of over staffing of
teachers by at least 20? has been ongoing but no one will authorize true
accounting.

When I questioned why a City Council spouse, art teacher and board member Caitlin Hills were pushing the voteno campaign on the school budget 2 years prior- I was banned from the FB site. The arts program was on the chopping block then- yet Belfast has a wealth of artists and volunteers. Actually, I think I just questioned the ethics of a City Council spouse swaying voting. I got
nailed- it's posted on waldokids.blogspot

Most of the new members when asked if the 500k present surplus from the with
draw would be returned to the residents said no. Pump it back
into the sieve. Where does it end? Not with this board. LePage is
cutting funding, on a rampage to cut, cut, cut and Belfast is spend,
spend, spend on wants, wants and more wants. No relief for you. Pay up
or get out, if you can. Anyone want to buy a house? Don't mind the
forced flooding, they flood all the undesirables and build another
vision- rail trail, harbor walk, Muck Suck- oh that's right, I stopped
that.

And that corruptly built elementary school built in 2007- The Captain Albert Stevens School- on top of a huge wetland swamp? The floors are cracking- the school is sinking and watershed residents including me, get all their runoff and melt off -illegal as hell- and I'm 2 miles away. DEP and wetlands- bad news. Corrupt Planning. Residents pay and students can't get a pencil. Follow the
money and follow the students into the classes. Ask the ALL the teachers
for stats and advice. Then cut the losers.
