The RSU 40/MSAD 40 school board approved the nomination of Alexander Hodges to a teaching position during its Dec. 5 meeting. Hodges was present at the meeting and declined extensive remarks but said he was grateful for the opportunity.
“Just I'm very thankful for the opportunity to meet all of the students and families,” Hodges said after the motion was approved.
The board moved and seconded the appointment and the presiding officer announced the motion carried. The transcript records members saying the motion was 'in favor' and referenced an 'opposed abstention' but does not provide a clear, unambiguous vote tally in the record provided. Board members also noted a typographical error and an incorrect town listed in the packet for the nominee and asked staff to correct the packet entry.
The presiding officer invited Hodges to say a few words but said he was not required to; Hodges offered a brief statement of thanks and the board moved on to other business.
