Dear RSU 38 families, staff, and community members,
This fall, RSU 38 Maranacook Area Schools is building a new strategic plan — the document that sets our district’s goals and
priorities for the years ahead. Our last plan ended its term in 2024, and we have partnered with the New England School
Development Council (NESDEC) to develop the next one.
A plan like this is only as good as the input behind it, and that input starts with you. We are holding four community forums this
fall, one for each of our member towns:
Thursday, September 24 — Manchester
Wednesday, September 30 — Mount Vernon
Thursday, October 1 — Readfield
Thursday, October 8 — Wayne
All four are held at the Maranacook Community High School cafeteria from 6:00 to 7:30 PM. Each evening is dedicated to
one town, so please plan to attend on the date listed for your town. Keeping the groups separate allows us to hear each community
clearly and see where the four towns agree and where they differ.
These sessions are for everyone — whether or not you currently have children in our schools. The conversation will focus on what
is working well in our schools, what needs attention, and what you want in place for students in the years ahead. It is a working
discussion, and its value comes from people being in the room together: ideas build on each other in a way they simply cannot
otherwise.
NESDEC already held a visioning session with the District Leadership Team and the Community Planning Team and will also
meet with staff and students in grades 6–12 this fall. They gather the input from all of these sessions, identify the themes that run
through them, and use those themes to shape the goals and priorities of the strategic plan, which will be presented to the School
Board in Spring 2027.
