Luxemburg-Casco board elects officers, approves contracts and policy updates

At its April meeting the Luxemburg-Casco School District Board of Education elected its 2025-26 officers, approved teacher contracts for 2025-26 and adopted several policy and scheduling items, board members said.

The reorganization established Linda DeBiva as board president and Alex Elizabeth as vice president; Jenny Salentine was chosen clerk and Dave (last name not specified in the record) was approved as treasurer. The board also approved the 2025-26 meeting schedule and renewed teacher contracts for the 2025-26 school year.

The officer elections followed nominations from the floor and voice votes. After the president vote, a board member said, “We’re now president,” and the board moved through the remaining officer positions by voice vote, with members calling “Aye” and the chair announcing “Motion carried.”

The board approved a bundle of policy updates and procedure documents after discussion and several requests for clarifications, including multiple items grouped and voted on together. Members referenced state guidance and a set of policies pulled from model language; one member asked for clarification on gift/ethics limits and record-retention language during debate.
