The South Portland School Department Board approved the personnel election of Ashley Peterson as a third-grade teacher for Kaler (motioned by Miss DeAngelis, seconded by Miss Ratliff), with the vote recorded as unanimous.

Superintendent Matheny and board members publicly thanked district staff and voters during the meeting. Matheny noted the district’s recent budget referendum passed with a 22% margin and offered gratitude to staff; the superintendent also announced the retirement of Kelly Perkins, a long-serving clerk at Brown School, and praised her service to families.

Board members corrected a grade-level labeling error on the meeting paperwork (the agenda item listed the wrong grade) before approving Peterson’s appointment. Members remarked on Perkins’s years of service and said she would be missed.

The board closed public comment, completed personnel business, and proceeded to executive session for labor and personnel matters. The board also reminded the public that the next regular meeting is scheduled for Monday, July 14 in the lecture hall at 6 p.m.
