Article 17

Restructure School Administrative Unit (SAU) 33

To see if the voters of the Town of Raymond will direct their school board to reorganize the administration of the Raymond School District also known as School Administrative Unit #33 from fulltime to part time to begin in school year 2012-2013; that is the elimination of the offices of: Superintendent of Schools, Special Education Director, Technology Director, Human Resources Director, Superintendent’s administrative assistant, special education director’s administrative assistant and possibly finance manager.

The management would be comprised of three school principals on a rotating basis acting as associate superintendents and three building special education directors acting as special as associate special education directors on a rotating basis (the assoc. super and director to be from different school in any given year). They would be compensated by stipend during their year of service.

This would result in the immediate savings in salaries of approximately: in 266,989 dollars in salaries for the first year. Since the district office is now vacant it can be used to deal with most of the district’s special education students within the district thus saving a minimum of approximately about 642,142 dollars PER YEAR.
This is a Petitioned Warrant Article.
