The RSU 05 board of directors approved two personnel hires at a short business meeting Wednesday evening at Freeport High School Gymnasium and then adjourned to reconvene for the district's annual budget meeting at 6:30 p.m.
Kelly, a committee member identified only by first name in the transcript, nominated Bridget Krieger to serve as librarian at Durham Community School for the 2026–27 school year. "Bridget comes to us from New Hampshire with a strong background and a real passion for what the library can do for school and in the lives of students," Kelly said.
The board approved the nomination by voice; the chair reported "All those in favor? None opposed," and noted hands were raised. The transcript does not include a roll-call vote or a numerical tally.
Kelly then nominated Carly Burke for the pre-K special education teacher position at Moore Street School, saying Burke "has a strong background in special education and has served in a number of school districts in the area," and that she "will make a wonderful addition to our team." That nomination was likewise approved by voice with no recorded opposition.
The chair said there were no minutes or changes to the agenda and offered an opportunity for public comment; no speakers came forward during the brief public-comment windows recorded in the transcript. The meeting was adjourned and the board will reconvene at 6:30 p.m. for the annual budget meeting.
Details recorded in the meeting: the hires are for the 2026–27 school year; the librarian nominee Bridget Krieger is noted as coming from New Hampshire; the special-education nominee is Carly Burke. The transcript provides no additional personnel background, no formal vote tallies and no surnames for several board members who were addressed by first name during the session.
