Please see this message that went to families this afternoon:
MSAD 52 Families and Staff:

Since the beginning of the school year, our schools have had numerous incidents involving a variety of E-bikes on school grounds. On the Turner campuses in particular, we have received multiple reports by teachers, administrators, parents, community members and law enforcement of dangerous riding and near-miss accidents related to E-bike use. We have been growing increasingly concerned for the safety and well being of our students and those who are sharing our roads and parking lots.

As a result of these reports and concerns, we have made the decision to ban all E-bikes from MSAD 52 property effective immediately. Given the volume of reports and complaints, we must act immediately to prevent a serious accident from happening.

We support students being active and outside. We support the use of regular, human powered, bicycles and will continue to welcome them on our property. However, E-bikes, many of which are illegal for any operator under 16 years old, present a clear danger to those coming to our campuses to work, attend school, and visit.

The School Board is in the process of updating district policy related to recreational vehicles on our property and are moving quickly to ban E-bikes as a matter of policy due to the urgency of the concerns. We appreciate your collaboration with us to ensure the safety of everyone in MSAD 52.

IMPORTANT MESSAGE FOR MSAD 52 FAMILIES:

The new state education funding formula looks at both the community’s property value AND the economic status of the students and families who live in our communities. This gives the State a more complete picture of each community’s ability to support education locally.

The information helps the State determine MSAD 52’s share of education funding and the amount our communities are expected to contribute locally.

We want MSAD 52 to receive every dollar of State education funding for which our students and communities are eligible. Completing the ALTERNATE ECONOMIC FORM helps make sure the State has the accurate information it needs to make that calculation.

We need ALL of our families to complete the Alternate Economic Form to ensure that our communities receive all of the state subsidy we deserve. So far we have heard from:
65% of Turner Primary families
69% of Turner Elementary families
74% of Greene Central families
63% of Tripp Middle School families
42% of LAHS families

MSAD 52 families, please check for an email from your child’s principal. We are only sending emails to families we are still hoping to hear from.

THANK YOU!
