MSAD 54 Schools Moved Into "Lockout" As Precautionary Measure
All MSAD54 Schools have been put into Lockout after local police informed us that there is a potential issue at the Charter School in town. Police also informed us that there is no direct threat to any of our schools. Out of an abundance of caution, we are moving into Lockout – which means all inside school activities will continue as planned, with outside activities on hold (recess, etc.).
We will continue to communicate with local law enforcement regarding the situation. Once we have additional information we will reach out and update you.
Public Hearing on Bus Garage Location Referendum
Take notice that the School Board of Maine School Administrative District No. 54 shall conduct a Public Hearing in accordance with the following schedule:
DATE: October 3, 2024
TIME: 5:30 P.M.
LOCATION: Skowhegan Area Middle School Cafeteria, 155 Academy Circle, Skowhegan
The Public Hearing shall be conducted on the following question which will be the subject of a referendum vote on November 5, 2024.
Question 1: Do you favor authorizing the School Board of Maine School Administrative District No. 54 (the “District”) to change the proposed location of the replacement bus garage from the current site of the North Elementary School (NEL) to the former DOT fleet maintenance lot at 264 Canaan Road in the Town of Skowhegan? The voters of the District previously approved funding and construction of the replacement bus garage as part of the new Early Childhood through Grade 5 elementary school project.
Note: Approval of this location change will not change the previously approved budget for the project, nor will it incur additional local costs, and in fact anticipates cost savings for the project.
