Families and Community Members of GSB:
The School Board and District Administration team invite you to a public forum on Wednesday, March 20th at 5pm, held at the Great Salt Bay School. This forum is to hear information, ask questions, and discuss the possible reorganization of the Great Salt Bay CSD (K-8) and the secondary education Boards of Bremen, Damariscotta, and Newcastle into one district (Great Salt Bay RSU) rather than 4 separate entities. While the changes we are proposing will not alter the Great Salt Bay School, nor the school choice and tuitioning out for high school that currently happens, we do understand that you may have questions or want to know more information about the GSB RSU or the Educational Service Center (ESC) that is being proposed as well. Please join us if you can! The Great Salt Bay CSD March 2024 Regular School Board meeting will be held at 6pm, immediately following this public forum. More information can be found at https://www.aos93.org/page/strategic-vision-2025.
Lynsey Johnston, Superintendent

Thank you so much to Coast of Maine and their Growing Good project for donating 10 cubic feet of soil for our greenhouse's raised beds.
