The Board of School Directors invites all Kennebunk and Kennebunkport taxpayers  to participate in a confidential summit on Wednesday, April 9.  Members of the Board will be available for conversation and questions from 7 to 9 PM at Kennebunk High School.  Please plan to meet in Room 5, enter through the Superintendent's office door, at 7 PM  for a brief overview of the process.

The purpose of these summits is to provide another means of communication between the Board and the various interest groups in the District.  In the past, the Board has held three Teacher Summits, one each at the Elementary, Middle, and High School levels; a support staff summit; parents summit; graduated student summit; and high school student summit.  The findings were reported to the full Board and also to the Superintendent so that he could follow up on items that warranted further study. 

This year the Board will be meeting with taxpayers on April 9, and with the graduated students in mid-June, in their continuing effort to hear from all stakeholders in the District.

The format will be three short questions from the Board about the District, followed by an open session for any questions or discussion you might wish to

pursue.  All information will be kept confidential, with no names or identifying facts provided.  The Board will prepare two reports, one for the public and another for the Superintendent, both maintaining confidentiality.  The reports will be presented a future Board meeting.

Please feel free to contact any Board member or the Superintendent's Administrative Assistant (985-1100 or dgillette@msad71.net) if you have questions about the meeting or the process.  Thank you in advance for your participation!
