XIII.a. Reopening of School of Choice for the 2025/2026 School Year
Description:
We would like to again offer school of choice opportunities. As in prior years, we are choosing to do the limited option to allow us to determine how many students per grade level to accept. The limited option allows us to keep the window open for no more than 30 days.
The window will run from July 29 through August 12. |

XIII.b. Letter of Agreement Between the BEA and Bath Community Schools
Description:
This letter of agreement allows us to process the retroactive payment for 2024-2025 now, as opposed to waiting for the final audit report. The final budget amendment approved in June shows us exceeding the highest target of the original contract by a substantial margin. Although we do not know the final audited fund balance number for 24-25, the auditors were on site this week and everything appeared to go well.
