DEMAND 10% CUTS & AI MODERNIZATION
Fighting wasteful spending and inefficiency across MSAD 52, Lewiston, Auburn, and every school district in Androscoggin County.
We support the staff who work directly with students every day — including classroom teachers, bus drivers, sports coaches, and front office staff. We believe they deserve fair pay and strong resources. However, we oppose the unchecked growth of non-teaching administrative and coaching positions that do not directly serve students.
Who Is Really Driving Salary Increases?
MSAD 52 board members have claimed that rising costs are largely due to “state-mandated raises.” This is misleading. The State of Maine does not require automatic yearly raises for most school employees. The vast majority of salary increases are decided locally through negotiations between the school board and employee unions.
Lewiston School Budget – June 9, 2026 Update
On Tuesday, June 9, 2026, Lewiston voters approved the revised school budget.
The new budget of approximately $127–128 million passed after voters rejected the original ~$130 million proposal in May. The revised plan included roughly $2 million in additional cuts.
This was the second and final referendum for the FY2027 Lewiston school budget. Official Results: 2,872 Yes – 2,680 No

Modern Solutions: Educational AI
