Ways To Help
When we protect local elementary schools, we support every family, strengthen every town, and help RSU 5 thrive.
Your voice can make a direct impact.
Help us create the time and space needed for open, collaborative engagement with RSU 5 administration and Board of Directors about the best path forward.
Attend an RSU 5 community forum
RSU 5 is conducting a comprehensive Systems & Sustainability Study covering our facilities, enrollment, educational programs, and finances. Community input is vital to ensure our neighborhood schools thrive.
Join school board members and neighbors at one of the upcoming forums to share your thoughts and help shape the future of our district:
Pownal: Friday, September 18 | 6:00 – 7:30 PM (Pownal Elementary School) — Note updated date!
Durham: Tuesday, September 22 | 6:00 – 7:30 PM (Durham Community School)
Freeport: Thursday, September 24 | 6:00 – 7:30 PM (Freeport High School)
All parents, students, and community members are encouraged to attend.
