Votes at a glance: RSU 10 board approves 2025-26 calendars, commissions three artists and adopts remote-participation rule
Summary
At its Feb. 24 meeting the RSU 10 board approved the 2025–26 school calendar(s), accepted arts-commission recommendations to hire three artists for new construction, and approved a revised BED remote-participation policy on second reading (three board members opposed).
The Regional School Unit 10 school board took several formal votes at its Feb. 24 meeting, approving the proposed 2025–26 school calendar drafts, commissioning three artists for artwork in new school construction, and adopting a revised remote-participation policy on second reading.
Votes and key details
• Approve minutes of Jan. 27 meeting — Motion by Chad; second by Ed; outcome: approved (vote tally not specified on the record).
• Approve 2025–26 school calendars (district calendar and a Region 11 CTE calendar variant) — Motion by Chad; second by Allison; outcome: approved. The Region 11 version accommodates CTE scheduling differences and provides transportation for students attending CTE classes on days the district does not have classes.
• Commission artists for new construction (per Maine Arts Commission percentage-for-art requirement) — Motion by Allison; second by Peter; outcome: approved. The board approved commissioning three artists recommended by the arts committee for artwork in the new facility: stained-glass work by Amanda Edwards, paintings by Paul Alexandra, and wood carving by Annie Lee. Funds for the art are part of the state-required percentage of construction costs.
• Second reading and adoption of revised BED (remote participation in school board meetings) — Motion by Chad; second by Peter; outcome: approved; the meeting record notes three board members opposed (names not specified on the transcript).
• Referral of policy CHA to policy committee to develop facilities-plan procedure — Motion by Darcy; second by Kristen; outcome: approved. (See separate story for details.)
The board also received routine personnel announcements, heard a special-education presentation and public comment, and scheduled upcoming committee meetings. Several motions were made without full roll-call tallies recorded in the meeting transcript; where the transcript provided counts (three opposed on the BED second reading), that detail is noted.
