The program centers on three monthly themes — be kind (respect, empathy, cooperation), be strong (responsibility, perseverance, courage) and be well (gratitude, honesty, creativity). The principal said staff and students are using common language across grades 2–5; adults present monthly awards and the school holds all-school assemblies to celebrate the habits.

Mrs. Cyr told the board the school’s enrollment rose from 267 last year to 384 this year. She said staff have given more than 180 awards so far this year and reported behavior referrals have decreased compared with the prior year, a change she attributed to the focused climate work and consistent adult modeling of expectations. The school counselor teaches the habits to every student and staff have incorporated the program into professional recognition as well as student recognition.

Board members asked questions and thanked the principal for the report. No formal board action was required for the presentation.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","RSU 22 School Board Mtg February 26, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","Wetherby School principal described a new character curriculum, PBIS implementation and measurable changes including enrollment growth and a decline in behavior referrals.","taxTitle","RSU 22, School Districts, Maine","taxId",48420,"location","Maine","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":77,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":78,"_41":79,"_43":80,"_45":81,"_47":82,"_49":83,"_51":84,"_53":85,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":86,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":87,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6306435,"RSU 22 approves three school trips: Wagner eighth-grade Boston visit, Key Club to Portland, JCL to Harvard",634,2184000,2818000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2437661-c885cf7e980ceb92253c5b59273049bf&start=2184&end=2818","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2437661-c885cf7e980ceb92253c5b59273049bf/thumbnail_2184000.jpg","/articles/6306435/Maine/RSU-22-approves-three-school-trips-Wagner-eighth-grade-Boston-visit-Key-Club-to-Portland-JCL-to-Harvard","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6306435-274f540d650eb397998921eee8883ac1/orig.mp4?Expires=1771169668&Signature=KsWVz4YCc8xOrNjvbiGN964ptQhcmr93nCuZGkX-TGA8IkQFtG9bu-3viE5A0kfQz3FLlKoqwiiz6hBHK0t7oFBOKrMxTu0cUoc60qk2M-7vw5l32CIbvigLyEkfucyDONU070uHD7mBPp3NfLykNf9uzNUvNvBJazOMpNGr3-BBIsnJFOAk1N-ELBhAdB2xVVx8341CMArZB5iR9-cAdDR7VNuxENU2M0Iy~hcty-sIFI9UjGajnSmgFeBQtbNDcyc4lqT9vwwjoaEQjmkHlzP-EFZlgxBr4OIqJc2B4IEQTl0bW~0FcpMPwxH5n46rT3aV2xswvVfnzm~zB0mbaQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The RSU 22 board approved three school-sponsored field trips at the meeting: a Wagner Middle School eighth-grade trip to Boston, three Key Club students to the New England District Educational Conference in Portland, Maine, and a JCL (Latin Club) team to Harvard for a competition.

Wagner’s planned eighth-grade trip would use a regular bus for transportation and bring students to Boston-area educational sites such as the museum and the aquarium; the presenter said students and families had done fundraising and the district would incur no cost for the trip.

Key Club advisor Terry Jenkins Suggs requested permission to take three students to the New England District Educational Conference in Portland. Registration is $335 per student, which the presenter said covers two nights’ lodging at the Holiday Inn by the Bay, three meals and souvenirs. The advisor said about one-third of the cost would be covered by the Key Club account, one-third anticipated from a donation by the Hamlet Kiwanis Club, and the final third (about $112) would be the responsibility of each student; transportation would be in a district van. The board noted students with financial hardship would be assisted from club funds as needed.

Hampden Academy teacher Ben Johnson requested approval to take a JCL (Latin Club) academic team to a Harvard competition. He estimated taking about two teams (eight competitors) plus alternates — roughly 10 students — traveling by 15-passenger van and staying overnight. Johnson said the cost to the district would be zero: the JCL account would pay the van and students would be charged for hotel and food, with discretionary support available from the JCL account for students unable to pay.

A board member moved to approve the three trips individually or as a slate; the board voted to approve them together. The transcript records the motion and a subsequent affirmative vote.","The board approved three field trips — an eighth-grade trip to Boston, three Key Club students to a Portland conference, and a JCL team to Harvard — and recorded funding arrangements for the clubs and students.",{"_33":89,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":90,"_41":91,"_43":92,"_45":93,"_47":94,"_49":95,"_51":96,"_53":97,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":98,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":99,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6306440,"RSU 22 board advances policy updates: member compensation, website accessibility, deletions and safety policy approved",317,1535000,1852000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2437661-c885cf7e980ceb92253c5b59273049bf&start=1535&end=1852","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2437661-c885cf7e980ceb92253c5b59273049bf/thumbnail_1535000.jpg","/articles/6306440/Maine/RSU-22-board-advances-policy-updates-member-compensation-website-accessibility-deletions-and-safety-policy-approved","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6306440-51f977de20266fa8dc4ce3014cc47ec6/orig.mp4?Expires=1771169668&Signature=bbG1VmyzdS~QrXQ-GL6XQMqSMo4qqC-Vfl667OIkZNNigYPlGUgZfUpLOPuu6AIxyiR0ej4Oxn54VPCvByCF~pBYzhyNgcTCZmhIzplzn1MGV7i5r5GZu3q7SPmRoVjj0adCOujxf0ewTEGqE22bR3KtfLw0MXveTCyB882J9X9vyr2n9Cma3uUeeu8BMCxJ~LiYBDhQxTRxvtOw2hd5ddFT~sI~tDSlYfCakynHlF3W6N5xqW3soU1UqfjCUNOvM4rrAa0eXd4qScXgs7d5UMCLreyc98OFvp9x7Rvi37FXUKTZqNAbR2cBJ07sKIWuWgUU935LYYte4C2MEb-zTA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Board committees moved several policy changes and the board voted on multiple items at the meeting, approving first and second readings and a slate of deletions.

On first reading, the board approved an increase in the board member compensation stipend (policy DID) from $25 to $35. The policy committee recommended the raise citing inflation since the policy’s last review in 1998; the motion passed on first reading unanimously.

Technology-related changes were discussed together. The board approved a first reading renaming policy IJNDC to “school system website/web pages” and noted the district must comply with new web accessibility laws over the coming years; staff said they are evaluating a new platform to assist with ADA compatibility. The committee also recommended deleting three older technology policies (IJND RSU number 22 website, INI software, and IJNDC-2 school system website/web pages) as they are redundant with the updated IJNDC; the board approved deleting those three policies as a slate after a friendly amendment to vote on them together.

On second reading, the board approved policy IGAE, bloodborne pathogen exposure, with no changes since first reading.

Earlier in the meeting the board approved the minutes from the prior meeting; the transcript records two abstentions on that vote (John Holmes and Bluefield) and the remainder voting in favor.

All votes on the policies and deletions were recorded as unanimous where noted; the minutes-approval vote recorded two abstentions as stated in the public record.","The RSU 22 board approved a first reading to raise board member compensation, approved technology-policy renaming and deletions to align with ADA web-accessibility work, and adopted the bloodborne pathogen exposure policy on second reading.",{"_33":101,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":102,"_41":103,"_43":104,"_45":105,"_47":106,"_49":107,"_51":108,"_53":109,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":110,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":111,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6306445,"RSU 22 board appoints Kristen Franklin director of finance at $93,897.72",68,392000,460000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2437661-c885cf7e980ceb92253c5b59273049bf&start=392&end=460","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2437661-c885cf7e980ceb92253c5b59273049bf/thumbnail_392000.jpg","/articles/6306445/Maine/RSU-22-board-appoints-Kristen-Franklin-director-of-finance-at-9389772","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6306445-4defb52129974bf1e65974292de0b7bc/orig.mp4?Expires=1771169668&Signature=Uvv2AB1cGWha7tFRNSB3cC6a-hOhfokXh-vK0zDnqqGbA1SkQGQCnKAf12N4GQmqgqd1mdyd-0z0paPHV~xdPRyj15U8YRW6U32gLfBOdihpJtdEGzA7z3vYuEPPyfhQ1E3h6c0fNMC6FDK77AXOtODKhdT6bwcJQnXMFfs6COaQwIK8byFDsg4dyaOa793fd8YmpRK6iDaef8YIDdKq8LPnxeOaZPvVJx4OxRXJaKeO3Cnib1KAN4Fz5e3TxYzh1t3IfggD2eq-MVNdkVkiwMcXpEUOFmnrQO6UR74Q5LqRNrZhTp8vlP9PsHjILZW31J1dCJC28eYL8GxptVJ88A__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The RSU 22 Board of Directors voted unanimously to appoint Kristen Franklin as director of finance and set her salary at $93,897.72.

The nomination came during the personnel portion of the meeting when a board speaker said the district had lost its district accountant and proposed renaming the position to director of finance while keeping the same responsibilities. The speaker said Franklin has more than 20 years of experience in school and nonprofit finance, holds a New Hampshire certified public accounting credential and an MBA and an M.S. in finance from Southern New Hampshire University.

The board member moved the nomination and another member seconded; the board then voted with no recorded opposing votes. The nominee was not present at the meeting; the speaker said Franklin is scheduled to begin Monday.

The change was presented as a title renaming to match district convention for leadership positions and not as a change in duties. No further amendments or conditions to the appointment were recorded.","At its meeting, the RSU 22 board renamed and filled its finance leadership role, voting unanimously to appoint Kristen Franklin as director of finance with a salary of $93,897.72.","actionData","errors"]
