Board approves appointment, contract renewals and $363,883 irrigation funding
Summary
The board unanimously appointed an alternative‑education director, reauthorized small payments for members serving on search committees, approved probationary contract renewals, and approved moving $363,883 from capital reserve for irrigation system upgrades to multiple school fields.
At its May 4 meeting, the RSU 06/MSAD 06 board unanimously approved a set of personnel and finance items.
The board appointed Selena Lemnett Levitt as director of alternative education at Frank Jewett; the nomination came from the superintendent and the appointment carried 10‑0. Levitt thanked the board and said she looked forward to supporting students and staff in the program.
The board also approved reauthorizing payment to board members who serve on search committees and interview teams during the 2026–27 school year; the stipend was described in discussion as the district’s usual small payment (about $15 per meeting). The motion passed unanimously.
Contract renewals were approved to move certain first‑year probationary staff to second year and to convert eligible second‑year probationary staff to continuing contract status beginning with the 2026–27 school year; the motion carried unanimously.
On finance, the board approved a second reading to withdraw $363,883 from the capital reserve to pay for irrigation upgrades across multiple fields including high‑school and middle‑school fields and practice facilities. Finance committee chair said the district needs the irrigation work and recommended the transfer; the board approved the measure unanimously.
Also noted in finance committee remarks: the proposed combined capital bond total was stated as $8,205,023, and the state SRRF bond for rooftop heating unit upgrades was cited as approximately $554,005.75 (district pays half at 0% interest and half is forgiven).
