RSU 06 board names Brian Campbell superintendent starting July 1

The RSU 06/MSAD 06 school board announced that Brian Campbell will begin as the district’s superintendent on July 1, 2026.

Board Chair Welch introduced the appointment and summarized Campbell’s credentials, noting prior roles including assistant superintendent of SAU 29 in Keene, N.H., and leadership positions at several schools. Welch also said the contract for the position has been signed and that the board previously voted to offer Campbell the post.

Campbell introduced himself to the board and community, saying, “I’m Brian Campbell. I’m so pleased to be the next superintendent of this district.” He told the board he plans to spend the months before taking office meeting with teachers, support staff, students and community members to learn about the district. “I don’t take this appointment lightly,” Campbell said.

Director Carlo thanked members of the search committee and welcomed Campbell, saying the board looks forward to ongoing collaboration. Superintendent Gleason, who delivered the evening’s report before the appointment, said he will support the transition to Campbell prior to his departure.

The announcement at the meeting followed earlier search and contract work referenced by board members; the transcript indicates the contract had already been signed and the board had previously voted to offer the position. The board then moved to other agenda items and later reconvened business in executive session.

Next steps: Campbell’s formal start date was stated as July 1, 2026; the board did not conduct a new vote to confirm the appointment during this meeting and noted prior procedural steps and a signed contract.
