Freeport Board Welcomes New Member Chris Saviano and Farewells Cheyenne

A significant transition is underway at the RSU 5 Board, as new leadership takes shape with the election of Chris Saviano, who will officially join the board on July 1. This change comes as current board member Cheyenne bids farewell, stepping down on June 30 after a year of dedicated service. Board members expressed gratitude for Cheyenne's contributions, acknowledging the challenges of balancing board responsibilities with personal commitments.

The process for filling Cheyenne's seat is already in motion, with the Freeport Town Council set to appoint a temporary replacement until the next municipal election in November. Community members interested in the position are encouraged to submit letters of interest, with the council expected to conduct interviews and make a recommendation soon. This upcoming election will be notable, featuring two regular three-year seats and two two-year seats for those appointed mid-term.

In addition to these leadership changes, the board recognized the contributions of other members, including Phoebe and Moon, who may also seek re-election at the start of the next school year. The board's commitment to student involvement was highlighted, with positive feedback from candidates regarding the participation of student representatives.

As the board prepares for these transitions, they also acknowledged several resignations from educational technicians across various schools, thanking them for their service and wishing them well in their future endeavors. The upcoming months promise to be pivotal for RSU 5, with new faces and fresh perspectives set to join the team.
