This came from a community member who wishes to remain anonymous....
Seth Fiermonti, as a speaker at the school board meeting, volunteered this blog as a resource for the community to offer up suggestions to the district and the school board. I attended the school board meeting and think that this is a nice offer. Let's use this posting as an avenue to give suggestions to the school board on what measures they can take to actually improve the situation from the citizen's standpoint. I really think that this can be an important dialogue without name calling and bantering, just constructive criticism and real suggestions. So, now the question is posed to you...What suggestions do you have for the school board on ways they can improve the district as a whole and the issues that were presented in the Durham Town Council Resolution?

Fosters Editorial: Has ORCSD Charted a New Course?
There is a sense among some in Durham, Lee and Madbury that the Oyster River School District budget is out of control.
That sentiment may have been among the reasons four-term School Board Member David Taylor lost handily during March 9 balloting. Regardless, it was the motivation for a recent meeting between Durham town officials and school district representatives.
Leading up to March balloting, ORSD voters complained that while district enrollment has declined, budgets continue to rise.
Right or wrong, the criticism of Taylor was that he promoted that disparity by failing to oppose much in the way of added spending.
The result was a voter backlash that saw Ann Wright more than double Taylor's vote tally — 1,249 to 605 — with Krista Butts recording a strong total of her own at 1,064.
The burden the Oyster River School District puts on taxpayers is nothing new. Several years ago, one candidate for re-election to the board boasted the district spent well above the state average on a per-pupil basis.
At the time, the state average was approximately $9,000 while Oyster River was spending $12,000 — a third higher than the state average. Fall enrollment for that year was reported at 2,085.
Not only did the candidate boast about the added spending, but she bragged that Oyster River was actually spending closer to $16,000 per student (although no explanation for the higher number was offered).
And guess what happened on election day?
She was re-elected.
As of the 2008-09 school year the statewide per-pupil average, by district, was $11,745.55. Oyster River clocked in at $15,573.92 — again about one-third higher and still well ahead of most other districts. Fall enrollment for ORSD was 2,044.
While financial numbers for the 2009-2010 won't be ready for awhile, fall enrollment was reported at 2,029 — another decline.
If voters have chartered a new course for the Oyster River School District with the election of Wright and Butts, it will take awhile to materialize. The disparity between the Oyster River School District budget and what districts of comparable size and quality spend did not come about overnight. Neither did the misconception that spending more money always means quality, as pointed out by Roger W. Speidel on the Oyster River Community Resource website before the election.
Speidel compared 10-year windows of the Bow and Oyster River School Districts to make his point that money doesn't necessarily buy quality.
That 10-year window may be an indication of the challenge Oyster River has in bringing its budget more in line with the thinking of those who elected Wright and Butts. One election will not do the job.
n n n
As for the recent meeting between ORSD representatives and town officials, it is only speculation that such meetings can help quell voter discontent with school finances.
This isn't the first time town officials have been on the receiving end of complaints about school spending. But the bottom line is that town and school are legally separate entities. One has no authority over the other.
That said, there are myriad reasons for them to cooperate in spending tax dollars.
Hopefully, they can do so on an ongoing basis rather than in the fits and spurts.

We We Started the Blog
This is a comment from a couple of posts ago replying to why the TIP got voted down. For those that are new to the blog, it is a very good recap of the past few years....
Nevertheless, my view is that the TIP has not passed for two years in a row due to a lack of trust in our administrators. Simply put, a majority of citizens do not trust them to spend our money wisely. Not without cause, of course.
Those who are long-time followers of this blog are familiar with the great bidding controversy of '08, but for newcomers, I will recap: our school administrators did not follow District policy in awarding a contract for computer networking equipment to a favored bidder...someone who just happened to be a former employee of the District. The solution offered by the favored bidder was demonstrably inferior, and cost $74,000 more, yet the District chose his bid instead. Why? Because our District does not have a rigorous bid-scoring process.
This is but one story. If you ask nearly anyone familiar with the business affairs of this District you will hear many others much like it. Some, like this one, are true (and you can see the documentation backing that assertion elsewhere on this blog and judge for yourself). Others may be mere anecdote, but all of them are evidence of the District's failure to engage honestly and forthrightly with the citizens of the three towns.
As a parent of young children, I worry that the our administrators' actions (and the subsequent reactions of some elected officials) are gradually undermining citizens' support of the District. Not that I blame the citizens themselves--after all, trust is earned, not given--but I do blame our school administrators and our elected officials for failing to conduct themselves in a manner which inspires trust, rather than mistrust.
With one child in kindergarten and another several years away from entering the school system, I have a great deal at stake. I believe we are at an inflection point in the history of our District: either we begin the difficult process of restoring trust and accountability now, or we risk provoking a backlash that could ultimately end in the breakup of the cooperative.
I hope that the election of two new Board members marks a turning point, and that now the Board can begin make the changes that need to be made in order to restore the kind of transparency and accountability that are the necessary building blocks of trust.
I also hope that those who read and comment on this blog will remain as ongoing, active participants in the affairs of this District even after the election: please, attend School Board meetings, praise what you see as good, and protest the not-so-good as you see fit. The Board needs your input, even if they don't always welcome it."
Significant Deficiency in Auditors' Report
ORCSD Financial Auditor Remarks from Oyster River Community on Vimeo.
Please find attached my letter to the School Board and copied to Mr. Colter. I will post the excerpts I cite as a comment to this post.
***
During the March 17, 2010 School Board meeting, third party auditors presented their findings on our past year's budget. From the auditors' Management Letter, there were two areas that raise significant concerns.
For your reference I attached relevant excerpts from the auditors' Management Letter on page two of this letter. The Letter may be found on the ORCSD web site as well.
First, the auditors characterize controls over disbursements as having "Significant Deficiency." The auditors' random sample of 25 disbursements revealed 24%, almost one out of four, were flawed, either not having departmental approval or not having vendor invoices. The auditors state that these circumstances "increase the risk that errors or irregularities could and go undetected."
Second, the auditors raise the concern that the District lacks internal audit practices. Internal audits are a reasonable practice our District should consider adopting. Moreover, one of the auditors explained during the March 17 meeting that Districts often use existing resources to complete semi-annual, internal audits.
I ask that the ORCSD Board request Superintendent Colter and his staff devise an appropriate plan of action to address these areas as soon as possible. We cannot afford to have funds disbursed without following sensible guidelines.

Durham reps grill Oyster River officials for answers on school spending
DURHAM — Representatives from the town recently aired a laundry list of concerns to the Oyster River School District about School Board business at a meeting in Superintendent Howard Colter's office last week.
Among the concerns were communication, credibility, reassessment of educational direction, public perception, and fiscal responsibility.
The Town Council recently passed a resolution asking the School Board to provide adequate documentation regarding the expenditure of surplus funds from the 2009 fiscal year.
Last week's meeting was meant to be an informal meeting between town and school board representatives. It was intended to help the School Board get a handle on what the town was asking and provide them with the answers they were looking for, according to Superintendent Howard Colter.
"The items they brought up certainly exceeded the items listed in their resolution," Colter said.
Colter declined to comment about the discussions the two groups had regarding the extra issues that were brought up.
"We listened," he said.
At last week's meeting were, Todd Selig, Durham town administrator; Gail Jablonski, Durham business manager; Neil Niman, Town Council chair; Doug Clark, town councilor; Jennifer Reif, School Board chair; JoAnn Portalupi, School Board vice chair; Jocelyn O'Quinn, School Board member and Blaine Cox, School Board business administrator.
Selig said the town's contingent brought up the concerns in response to growing public uneasiness about the board.
"We are getting more and more feedback during the public comment portion of council meetings where residents express concerns regarding these issues pertaining to the School District," he said. "In addition residents have contacted council members outside of meetings. Given the circumstances, the council felt it was necessary to convey these concerns to the School Board."
At the School District's deliberative session in February, a bulk of the concern from residents pertained to not being able to track in the budget how the district is spending money. Multiple residents said the budgets provided to the public are impossible to understand.
Residents have also expressed concern about how the budget increases each year, while enrollment continues to decline.
Selig said bringing these issues up at last week's meeting was the town's way of trying to promote more communication between the two bodies.
"At the end of the meeting our final comment was 'How can we help?' " Selig said. "How can the town of Durham help the School District address some of these issues?"
In regards to the resolution asking how the district spent its surplus funds in 2009, Colter said the district used the money on computer file storage hardware, equipment that was rejected by voters last year as part of the technology improvement plan warrant article.
Colter said the district had the right to use the surplus money on that equipment because as things change throughout the years, the board has the right to allocate available money to items that are perceived to be necessary, which he claims the hardware was.
Selig said the town is still seeking additional information about how those funds were spent and will be presenting the town's resolution to the School Board at tonight's meeting, which is scheduled for 7 p.m. at the Oyster River High School.
"The taxes raised to support the School District from Durham represents 70 percent of the local property tax bill and the council feels a responsibility to ensure those tax dollars are being spent wisely," Selig said.
The district's business administrator is expected to issue a formal response to the town resolution and then forward it to Madbury and Lee, Colter said.

Superintendent Letter to School Board Regarding Durham Resolution
To: Oyster River Cooperative School Board
From: Howard Colter, Superintendent
Date: 11 March 2010
Subject: Meeting with Durham Town Council re: Resolution 2010-02
This memo is my attempt to summarize a meeting that took place at the SAU earlier this week. I called for this meeting after receiving a resolution approved by the Durham Town Council related to the school district.
I was joined by Todd Selig (Town Administrator), Gail Jablonski (Durham Business Manager), Neil Niman (Durham Council Chair), Doug Clark (Durham Councilor), Jennifer Reif (ORSB Chair), JoAnn Portalupi (ORS Vice-Chair), Jocelyn O'Quinn (ORSB), and Blaine Cox (ORCSD Business Administrator).
The purpose for this meeting was to learn from the Durham Town Council the objective of the resolution and what, if anything, is being requested of the school in order to provide information to the Board for future discussion.
Specific to the resolution, we heard that the Durham Town Council joins some number of citizens in questioning the expenditure of district resources at the end of the 2009 fiscal year on technology equipment when those funds could have been returned to the three towns to offset future tax increases. This was coupled with the fact that the equipment that was purchased (computer file storage hardware) had been rejected by voters as part of a Technology Improvement Plan warrant article in March of that year.
Messrs. Niman, Clark, and Selig also expressed concerns not specifically contained in the Town Council Resolution. In short, these issues included: communication, credibility, reassessment of educational direction, public perception, and fiscal responsibility. We heard that the drafting of this resolution was made in part to start a broader dialogue with the School Board.
The meeting lasted about one hour and fifteen minutes. I stressed that the Town Administrator and representatives of the Durham Town Council should feel welcome to attend a School Board meeting to present their resolution.
Regarding details listed in the resolution, I recommend that Business Administrator Blaine Cox draft a response to the resolution on your behalf. This letter would be discussed at a board meeting and subsequently be sent to all three governing towns.

Foster's Article on Election Results
DURHAM — Four-term School Board Member David Taylor was ousted from the board on Tuesday night by two newcomers.
Krista Butts and Ann Wright won the two open seats on the Oyster River School Board.
Wright received the most votes with 1,249, while Butts received 1,064 votes. Taylor was on the outside looking in with 605 votes.
Butts, 35, of Lee, previously said she was focused on helping the board implement its strategic plan and improving communication between the board and the community.
Wright, 45, of Lee, is also a longtime volunteer in the district and was on the Oyster River Strategic Plan Committee. She would also like to see better communication between the board and community.
Voters also approved the districts $38,767,019 operating budget by a vote of 994 to 686.
The only warrant article that failed was one asking for the appropriation of $95,000 for technology improvement upgrade of data cabling at the SAU building and telephone system replacement. The article failed by a close vote of 847 to 831.

A Letter from Kim Clark to Undecided Voters...
This post was from Ms Clark in response to an undecided voter's comment in the next post below addressing why NOT to vote for David Taylor.
In all my years of volunteering, and working as a teacher I never had anyone treat me with such disrespect. Other board members currently serving have also experienced this frustration. It does get in the way of getting the job done. When citizens came foward to present facts regarding the grade scale, they were marked as trouble. When efforts were made to improve communication and understanding with the towns, he blocked those efforts at every attempt. He has accused board members of illegal activity, talked back to the public who come to speak.....knowing they can't respond, and has blocked teachers from participating in important discussions such as those on the grade scale. This is the David I served with, and while I am sure there must be some things he did in his previous terms, an open minded contribution to our schools was not one of them when I was on the board. He voted against a contingency fund for teachers as well as voting against the charter of the Strategic Plan. He has not worked with new board members as a mentor, and in fact I would argue often sits back to watch them fail.
My first few meetings as chair he would literally mumble under his breath and then accuse me of breaking the rules on purpose, when in fact I was simply trying to learn and following past practices, which suddenly had to change since I was now the chair. Is this who we all want for three more years?
I will also remind everyone that during the Don Maynard fiasco, during the close loss of the theater program, and during the grade scale debate this senior member of the board.....well all I can say is....there are more reasons not to vote for him. Please also remember that Shirley Thompson, a servant of this town since the 1960's resigned rather than serve with him another day.
I hate to become negative, but the attacks on those who simply have become involved have angered me. Why are we not presenting facts, sticking to facts, and having a spirited debate on the facts. Young parents have become involved in this community because they care deeply about continously striving for excellence in our schools. They volunteer at the PTO, support teachers and it is this support of teachers they fight for. When I visited with teachers in all of the schools last fall they were pleading for help and support, which they are not receiving with this current central office administration. Please support a change, the time has come.
------------------------------
Dear Undecided, As a former board member I can help you out a bit. I do believe at one time David was an effective board member, he is generally nice person and cares about our schools. However,my personal experience with him would lead me to believe his time has come and gone. David and I clashed from day one.

Krista Butts and Ann Wright for School Board
Kim Clark writes:
Tuesday March 9th the residents of the
I will be voting for Krista Butts and Ann Wright.
Ann Wright has been a very active parent in our district. Ann is committed to maintaining a high quality education to our children and has been active in her support of changes that improve the opportunities of our students. Ann will help to continue the important work on the Strategic Plan, and will have the ability to ask the tough questions that need to be asked as we continue to strive for educational excellence in our district.
Krista Butts has a strong background in strategic planning. As an independent thoughtful parent, she will also work hard to assure the education of our children will be first rate.
Krista will bring an open mind, the ability to ask tough questions, and the willingness to listen to all sides of any issue.
I believe it is time for a change. It is time to bring forward new perspectives and ideas that will challenge the status quo, reflect emerging needs in this dynamic world, and respect the work done by our hard working teachers. We need candidates that will find the balance between doing what is right for our students, supporting the teachers and making difficult choices in tough economic times.
Ann and Krista bring different perspectives and views as two unique individuals. I strongly believe out of the three candidates in the race, Ann and Krista will better serve the interests of our community by focusing on how we can best provide a high quality of education and curriculum, and ensure we derive the highest value from our tax dollars.
I strongly believe Ann and Krista are the two candidates that can support the work ongoing in our district, and help to guide our district to the next level.
Visit their web sites at www.ann-wright.net and www.kritabutts.com for more information.
Please remember to vote for our kids on Tuesday March 9th.
Butts and Wright for ORCSD School Board and Carlson, Moore, and Roberts for Durham Library Trustees
On March 9, 2010, the Oyster River District will vote on two, at-large School Board seats. I support Lee residents Krista Butts and Ann Wright for these two seats. Both Krista and Ann will listen to district concerns and support a forward-looking vision and a comprehensive, strategic plan. As parents of young children, Ann and Krista care deeply about securing educational opportunities and academic excellence for all Oyster River children. In addition to sharing concerns for our children, these dedicated residents are also experienced professionals in their fields - Ann a documentarian and Krista a technical, project manager.
