RSU 04 reorganizes leadership, assigns committees and approves staffing and emergency plan
The RSU 04 Board of Directors completed organizational business at its meeting, electing Nicole Russell as chairperson and Christie as vice chairperson, assigning members to standing committees and approving several routine items including minutes, summer hires, the district's director of technology and the annual comprehensive emergency management plan.

Nicole Russell was nominated and elected chair by roll call; the board recorded the vote as unanimous. Christie was nominated and elected vice chair by roll call; board members again recorded a unanimous vote.

Committee assignments announced at the meeting included:
- Curriculum & Technology (CAI/Technology): Diane Whelan, Theresa, Christie, and Nancy (if she continues);
- Finance & Facilities: Matt Early, Robbie, Scott Fife, and Doug (provisional);
- Personnel & Policy: Matt Early, Christy/Christie and Scott Fife, with Diane Whelan assisting on personnel interviews as needed;
- Negotiations: Robbie and Nicole Russell.

The board approved the minutes of the June 25, 2025 Board of Directors meeting and the July 9, 2025 public budget meeting, each by motion and voice vote.

Under new business the board voted to approve the professional staff hired over the summer; the motion passed. The board then moved to elect Stephanie Weber as the district's director of technology, as recommended by the superintendent; Weber, formerly an assistant technology director with the Auburn school system, was approved by vote.

The board also approved the district's comprehensive emergency management plan, which the superintendent and staff reported had been updated to remove Savatus Primary School from the documents and to refresh directory and contact information. The superintendent said reunification planning and Alice training remain priorities for the year.

Finally, the board approved the computation and declaration of votes related to the budget and directed that a certified copy be sent to municipal clerks in the regional school unit; the chair asked members to sign the certified record before leaving.

No contested policy decisions were taken at this meeting; the votes recorded were routine organizational and administrative actions.
