Dear Parents, Guardians, Staff, and Community Members,

I would like to begin by congratulating the parents, guardians, staff, and caregivers of the students who recently graduated. It has been an honor to serve your children and to witness how their education in the Winslow Public Schools has laid a strong foundation for their future. Please know that your unwavering support, perseverance, and guidance over the years have played a monumental role in their success!

As one school year closes, preparations for the next are already underway. We are working diligently to ensure that our current and incoming students receive the support, resources, and opportunities they need to succeed.

On Tuesday, June 10, 2025, Winslow residents will have the opportunity to vote on the 2025-2026 school budget. Voting will take place at the Winslow VFW, located at 175 Veterans Drive. The polls will be open from 8:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m.

Our proposed budget for the 2025–2026 school year is $20,970,005.77, reflecting a 3.62% increase over last year. However, thanks to our ongoing commitment to fiscal responsibility—and increased revenue from a growing student population—I’m pleased to share that this budget includes a reduction in the local tax appropriation by $242,093.48, representing a 2.56% decrease from the previous year.

This is a significant achievement, especially given the current inflationary climate and broader economic challenges. For detailed information on the budget, please visit the Winslow Public Schools website.

I want to express my sincere gratitude to our dedicated staff, administrators, School Board members, and Central Office team for the time and care they have devoted to developing this budget.

I would also like to thank the Town Council and Town Manager for their support and for recognizing the district’s efforts to meet student needs while remaining fiscally responsible to the taxpayers of the Winslow Community.

In closing, I encourage you to exercise your right to vote on June 10th.

With deep appreciation.

Peter Thiboutot

Superintendent, Winslow Public Schools
