School Board Approves Mary Malcheski as Grade 5 Teacher at Mountain Valley Community School

The RSU 10 board meeting on July 21, 2025, highlighted a significant personnel decision with the approval of Mary Malcheski as a grade 5 teacher at Mountain Valley Community School for the upcoming school year. The motion, made by board member Peter and seconded by Chad, received unanimous support, reflecting the board's confidence in Malcheski's abilities.

Malcheski has been serving in the classroom since early 2025 under an emergency certification and has actively pursued further education to secure a conditional or full certification by the time her current certification expires. Board members expressed enthusiasm about her performance and commitment to professional development, indicating a positive outlook for her future in the role.

In addition to the teaching appointment, the board discussed the need to appoint two representatives to the Region 9 board. With current members stepping down, Doug Stone has expressed interest in one position, while the board is seeking suggestions for another representative from the Mountain Valley region. The discussion emphasized the importance of community involvement and expertise in filling this role, with potential candidates being considered for their relevant experience.

These decisions underscore RSU 10's commitment to enhancing educational quality and community representation as they prepare for the new school year.
