Votes at a glance: RSU 67 approves superintendent appointment, two policy second readings and bus drivers’ contract
Summary
At its March 18 meeting RSU 67 approved the appointment of a superintendent, adopted second readings of two policies (DIA, EBBD), and ratified a collective bargaining agreement with bus drivers for 2026–2029. All motions were reported as carried in the public record; no roll‑call tallies are recorded in the transcript.
The RSU 67 Board of Directors recorded several formal actions during its March 18, 2026 meeting. The public transcript records the motions and the chair’s declaration that each motion "carries," but it does not include roll‑call tallies with individual yes/no votes.
Key outcomes
• Superintendent appointment: The board approved the appointment of Dr. Michael Harvey as superintendent on a three‑year contract beginning July 1, 2026. The motion was read after an executive session called under "one MRSA subsection 4056A." (See appointment details.)
• Policy approvals (second reading): The board voted to accept the policy committee’s recommendations and approved the second readings of Policy DIA (Fixed Assets) and Policy EBBD (Temperature Standards for School). Motions were moved and seconded; the chair declared each motion carried.
• Collective bargaining agreement (bus drivers): The board approved the collective bargaining agreement between RSU 67 and the RSU 67 bus drivers for 2026–2029. The motion was moved and seconded and the motion carried.
Procedural notes: The public transcript repeatedly records the chairman/declaration "Motion carries" but does not provide vote tallies or a roll call for each item in the text provided. Where votes were taken, the transcript records a motion, a second and the declaration of passage.
What was not decided: The special education in‑district program presented by the special education and facilities directors was discussed but not brought to a vote; staff were asked to continue developing cost, staffing and lease details and to post presentation materials for board and public review.
