RSU 40/MSAD 40 board approves RSU 44 tuition contract, recording committee meetings and several policies
Summary
The RSU 40/MSAD 40 school board approved a secondary tuition contract with RSU 44/St. George, authorized recording committee meetings for posting starting Jan. 2025, and approved second readings of security-camera-related policies; the board also heard administrative updates including a $7,000 food-service grant.
At the Dec. 4 meeting, the RSU 40/MSAD 40 school board approved several routine actions with little debate: a secondary tuition contract with RSU 44/St. George, a policy to record and post board committee meetings beginning Jan. 2025, and second readings of several personnel and security-related policies.
Board members voted to approve the RSU 44 tuition agreement after brief questions about how Saint George students attend area schools. Mike Feldman, identified in the meeting as Saint George’s superintendent, attended and said districts often maintain multiple tuition agreements. "We also have tuition agreements with our team ... our students do attend other schools," Feldman said while answering questions.
The board also voted to begin recording committee meetings and posting them on the district website starting Jan. 2025.
On policy matters, the board approved second readings recommended by the policy committee, including the PCAD Security Camera System, the PCADR Security Camera System administrative procedure, and GBM (pay policy for nonunion employees). The motions were moved and seconded and recorded in the transcript as carrying by unanimous tallies (transcript vote lines include inconsistent formatting; recorded tallies read as variations of "7 37 to 0").
In other administrative business, the business manager reported that on-site work for the FY24 audit is complete, that the escrow company EEI will present to the facilities committee in December regarding the Summer 2025 project, and that the district received a $7,000 food-service grant intended mainly for durable trays (the manager said trays cost approximately $15–$20 each).
