| This page is devoted to articles from the local media that concern SAU 16, our school district. Unfortunately, there is no lack of negative press. Recently elected members have attempted to halt poorly thought-out reforms in academic philosophy and curriculum. Parents and taxpayers must take a stand at school board meetings, observe meetings on channel 22 (public access), and especially act with knowledge when entering a voting booth. Let's all become well-informed. |
This website is independently produced by and for the benefit of parents and taxpayers of SAU16. It is not affiliated with and does not represent views or opinions of the Exeter Region Cooperative School Board or SAU16 Administration. This website and all of it's pages and links is a good faith attempt to provide the community with a centralized location of background information about changes that have occurred at our schools, and namely, CMS. It is not intended to attack anyone personally. If anyone sees anything contained in this good faith representation to be factually incorrect or derogatory in any way, please contact us immediately and we will review it and change it if this has accidentally occurred. |
