RSU 05 board approves comprehensive education plan; authorizes educator contracts and accepts resignation
Summary
The RSU 05 School Board voted to approve its annual comprehensive education plan and approved educator contract nominations for the 2025–26 school year, including continuing contracts and probationary contracts; the board also accepted a teacher resignation.
At its regular meeting, the RSU 05 School Board approved the district's annual comprehensive education plan and authorized the superintendent to issue contracts for the 2025–26 school year. The board also accepted the resignation of teacher Madeline Lean and approved motions to issue second-year probationary contracts and continuing contracts to named educators.
Cynthia, speaking to the board about the required annual review, said the comprehensive education plan update includes changes to affirmative action policies, supervision and evaluation procedures for professional staff, the student dropout prevention plan, the special education plan, a revised crisis response plan, updates to ESSA (Title) grant applications, and the school facilities plan. She told the board that the binder of materials is available for review.
A motion to consider and approve the comprehensive education plan was made by board members Kelly and Malik; the transcript records a voice vote with all in favor and no opposition recorded. The board then considered personnel nominations. The board accepted the resignation of Madeline Lean effective at the end of the school year.
The board approved 21 educators for second-year probationary contracts (Renee Bucknell; Cara Constantine; Elise Stumpy Hendricks; Kent Gemmell; Abigail Gervais; Lisonbee Jin; Gabrielle Henke; Abigail Hite; Tristan Ingram; Juliana Kylie; Renee LaRoche; Rachel Lira; Katie Lutz; Jessica McCurdy; Katie McFarland; Elizabeth Noots; Dana Reynolds; Joshua Schmidt; Carolyn Volk; Madeline White; Alina Woods) and 16 educators for continuing contracts (Jacqueline Adams; Claire Bowen; Molly Brooks; Paige Brown; Emma Dorian; Laura Dunbar; Dorothy Eckhart; Emma Everett; Olivia Glatter; Abigail Hunt; Morgan Johnson; Melissa Lutze; Kayla McGinley; Heidi Richards; Jessica Trahan; Kelsey Williams). A motion to approve the personnel items was moved by Mara and Danielle; the transcript records the vote as in favor with no opposition recorded.
These approvals were recorded as part of the meeting minutes; the transcript does not show roll-call vote tallies or individual dissenting votes. The comprehensive education plan is identified in the meeting record as an annual legal requirement, and the superintendent's office indicated the plan and supporting documents are available for board review.
