Board authorizes hiring one-year special-education teacher using funding from two unfilled ed-tech positions
Summary
RSU 5 approved converting the budget for two unfilled educational technician positions at Freeport High School to fund a one-year special-education teacher hire to meet staffing needs.
The RSU 5 Board authorized the superintendent to hire a one-year special-education teacher at Freeport High School using funds from two unfilled special-education educational technician positions.
The district previously sought to fill educational technician roles without success; administrators requested temporary reallocation of existing funds to hire a special-education teacher for the year. The motion to authorize the hire was made by Kelly and seconded by Cheyenne; the board approved the request by voice vote with no roll-call tally recorded.
Administrators said the reallocation would not increase the district budget; funds from the unfilled ed-tech positions would be used in the current year to fund the teacher position. If a hire is made, staff will bring the candidate name forward as required by board policy.
No additional details about the selected candidate were provided at the meeting.
