Dear Oyster River Families and Community Members,

Over the past several years, the future of the SAU office building has been the subject of ongoing discussion within our district. To support thoughtful decision-making and ensure we are planning responsibly for the years ahead, we will be conducting a comprehensive assessment of the building and its potential future needs. The findings will help inform future Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) discussions and ensure that any decisions regarding the facility are guided by accurate information, long-term district priorities, and our commitment to fiscal responsibility for taxpayers.

To maintain uninterrupted district operations throughout this process, some SAU team members will temporarily relocate to alternative workspaces for the current school year, with some moves occurring as early as this week. Relocating staff within existing district facilities also helps ensure that we manage this transition in the most cost-effective manner possible while minimizing disruption to daily operations.

You may find below a list of where SAU staff previously located at 36 Coe Drive will be working for the current school year.

Service Building (33 Coe Dr, Durham) 

• Human Resources – starting September 11 
• District Registrar
• Business Office

ORMS (1 Coe Dr, Durham) 

• Superintendent’s Office 
• Student Services 
• Director of Communications
• Curriculum Coordinator

Respectfully,
 
Suzanne Filippone
Interim Superintendent
