Books/Arts & Crafts Supplies
Cumberland PD picked up a variety of K-12 books and supplies from Ruth's Reusable Resources for families who may need them. The bags are broken down and labeled by age group (K-2, 3-5, 6-8, 9-12). Each sealed bag contains a few books, art books, and arts and craft supplies (colored pencils, markers, etc.).
If any family is interested in a free bag of books and supplies, please contact Ashley Caswell at acaswell@msad51.org Please include the following information: Child's name, grade and contact information. We will work on dispersing these the week after school break.

Budget Letter from Chair and Vice Chair Please click HERE to read the budget letter from Chair Perrin and Vice Chair McGinley. Budget Timeline Update Due to COVID-19 and the extended school closure, the MSAD #51 school budget process will be delayed, based on the uncertainty of state timelines and mandates and the change in date of the June elections to July 14. Once we receive further guidance from the State, we will be able to reschedule all of the following: Public Hearing (was scheduled for April 27); Adoption of the Budget by the Board (was scheduled for May 4); and District Budget Meeting (was scheduled for May 21). As of today (April 14), the budget validation referendum is tentatively scheduled for Tuesday, July 14, along with local and state elections.
