BDN Belfast School Board Comments
Hi Abby,
I thought my comment didn't post, so I
posted it again and see I am in holding- the duplicate should be deleted
but why is the original not posting. Here it is- holding for 20 minutes
so far. Let me know what is wrong with it. Thanks.

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
theboard 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 vote no 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
withdraw 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.
