School Board Approves Teacher Contracts and Plans for New School Tours

The RSU 10 Board meeting held on April 28, 2025, focused on several key agenda items, including teacher contracts and school tours.

The meeting commenced with a motion to select a tool for the board's self-evaluation, which was unanimously approved. Following this, the board addressed the issuance of teacher contracts. The superintendent recommended issuing a first-year probationary teacher contract for individuals hired after January 15. This motion was made by board member Allison and seconded by Chad, receiving unanimous approval.

Next, the board acted on the recommendation to issue a second-year probationary teacher contract, with Bonnie making the motion and Peter seconding it. This motion also passed without opposition. The board then moved to issue first-year continuing contracts, which was proposed by Lisonbee and seconded by Chad, and similarly received unanimous support.

During the board member comments section, Bonnie expressed a desire for more tours of the new school, noting that a scheduled tour for parents and students would take place on May 1 at 5:00 PM, focusing on the completed fifth and sixth-grade wing. She mentioned that safety concerns due to ongoing construction limited access to other areas of the building.

Allison thanked the attendees for their participation, highlighting the importance of community engagement over online complaints. She also congratulated those receiving first-year continuing contracts, emphasizing the significance of this achievement.

The meeting concluded with a positive atmosphere, reflecting the board's commitment to supporting educators and engaging with the community.
