Correction
In the Feb. 14 edition of the Star-Herald, an advisement was placed announcing the election of an SAD 1 District 3 school director position for the March 5 primary election. Unfortunately this was an error due to some automated reporting to the town office.
Board of directors’ terms of office run for three years beginning Jan. 1 following the general election in November. Each year elections are held for approximately one-third of the director positions on the board. The next election for the District 3 seat will be held this coming Nov. 5. Terry Sandusky is the current incumbent for this seat.
School adopts calendar
On Feb. 12, the SAD 1 board adopted two school calendars for the coming 2024-2025 school year. One calendar covers the elementary and middle schools and the second is for the high school, which has a separate educational year.
Calendars are available from the district administrative office and will be posted on the school district web page in the near future.
