Another School Meeting

The Profile School Meeting was held on Monday March, 23, 2009 in the school gym. 65-75 people were there. Jim Payette was thanked for his many years on the school committee. Julie Seeley was elected to fill his seat. There was no candidate on the ballot for moderator. Al MacBain got the most write-in votes, but he says that he will not serve another year and it is up to the school committee to decide who will be the moderator for next year. All other write-ins only got one or at most two votes.

The school budget was passed and was for less than published as the teacher benefits were about $35,000 less than anticipated. The school will be purchasing a generator for emergencies.
There were paper ballots for each question as a petition was presented for paper voting. Apparently a petition has to be signed by only 5 voters to have yes or no ballots. It made the meeting considerably longer. The votes ran about 60 to 8 or so on each vote.
