What stands out about how Cutler is run
Read from the town’s budget and official records.
Cutler
Cutler’s elementary school district. The schools are run by Cutler, so this money is part of the budget above.
Of the $15,493 per pupil, $8,808 goes to the classroom (teachers, aides, supplies); the rest to buses, buildings, counselors and administration. Building projects and debt payments aren’t in the per-pupil figure.
Maine districts overall: 52% local, 40% state, 8% federal.

About $3,375 per resident a year, or $9.25 a day
Schools are part of the town’s budget, so they lead the receipt: 76% of day-to-day spending.
Thank you for being a neighbor
Cutler runs its own schools, so school spending is part of this budget.
