Memo Regarding Request for Additional Funds for Miscellaneous Costs

TO: Superintendents of Schools

FROM: Susan A. Gendron, Commissioner

DATE: February 5, 2008

RE: Additional Funds Available to RPCs for Miscellaneous Costs

Once units receive notification that their proposed configuration for reorganization has been approved by the Department, I am making an additional $2,500 available to the reorganization planning committee for miscellaneous costs.  As with the previously available miscellaneous funds, these monies can also be used as deemed appropriate by the planning committees for expenses such as travel, copying, and clerical support. 

Please note that the funds are offered to units involved in the reorganization planning process, not those units planning to file an Alternative Plan.  An SAU that is a member of the RPC should be designated to request, receive and manage the funds on behalf of the RPC, whose membership will have the authority to determine how the funds are used.  The designated SAU, on behalf of the RPC, may fill out and submit a one-page request form available on the Planning and Resources page of the Reorganization section of our website.  The form can be found at: http://www.maine.gov/education/supportingschools/planning.html#forms
