Beginning on May 27, Machias voters will be gathering twice in a two-week span to act on separate articles in a bifurcated school and town meeting warrant. 

First up is an 18-article warrant addressing Machias public school funding for fiscal year 2025, which begins July 1. That meeting is scheduled for 6 p.m. Tuesday, May 27, and the Rose M. Gaffney School gymnasium. The Machias School Board, Budget Committee and Select Board support passage of all funding articles.
