School Board Seeks New Student Representative Amid Community and Staff Discussions

The RSU 05 Board Meeting held on July 21, 2025, focused on enhancing community involvement and addressing upcoming changes in student representation. The board emphasized the importance of including parents and community members from each town in their discussions.

A key point of discussion was the need to appoint a new student representative, as the current representative, Grama, will be leaving for college next year. The board noted that the student rep plays a vital role in bridging the gap between students and the board, ensuring that student voices are heard in decision-making processes.

Additionally, the meeting included contributions from two teachers, two board members, two administrators, the director of instructional support, and the assistant, highlighting a collaborative approach to governance. This diverse representation aims to foster a more inclusive environment for all stakeholders in the district.

The board's commitment to community engagement and student representation underscores its dedication to creating a supportive educational environment as it prepares for the upcoming school year. Further steps will be taken to identify and appoint a new student representative to continue this vital connection.
