Your Tax Dollars. Your Voice. Your County.
The Andro Alliance is fighting for real school budget reform across every district in Androscoggin County — Lewiston Public Schools, MSAD 52, Auburn, Lisbon, and beyond.
Introduction
The rejection of the MSAD 52 budget on May 21 and Lewiston’s first budget vote on May 12 showed that Androscoggin taxpayers are no longer willing to accept business as usual. We now have a clear opportunity to demand meaningful change: 10% across-the-board cuts, elimination of wasteful non-teaching administrative positions (such as Instructional Coaches costing taxpayers over $500,000 per year in MSAD 52 alone), and the use of modern AI tools to improve education while lowering costs.
Real change only happens when citizens show up and speak out. Here’s exactly how you can get involved right now.
Main Action Steps
1. Vote “NO” on Lewiston’s Revised School Budget – June 9, 2026
Date: Tuesday, June 9, 2026
Time: Polls open (check your local polling place in Lewiston)
This is Lewiston’s second vote after the May 12 rejection. A strong “No” vote sends a powerful county-wide message that taxpayers demand real cuts and efficiency reforms — not minor tweaks.
2. Attend the MSAD 52 District Budget Meeting – June 11, 2026
Date: Thursday, June 11, 2026 at 5:30 PM
Location: Leavitt Area High School Auditorium, Turner
This is the critical public meeting where residents can speak, propose amendments (including a 10% cut and AI directive), and vote on the revised budget before it goes to referendum.
3. Vote “NO” on the MSAD 52 Referendum – June 25, 2026
Date: Thursday, June 25, 2026 (1:00 PM – 7:00 PM)
Locations: Turner Town Office, Greene Town Office, Leeds Town Office
4. Contact Your School Board Members
Email or call the boards in Lewiston, MSAD 52, Auburn, and Lisbon. Demand real spending cuts and AI modernization. (We provide ready-to-send email templates.)
5. Spread the Message County-Wide
Share this website and our social media posts. Print and distribute flyers before the June 9 Lewiston vote and June 11 MSAD 52 meeting. Talk to neighbors in every town — momentum is building in Greene and Leeds; we need the same energy in Lewiston and beyond.
