Bangor School Board elects Julie Myers president, confirms officers and several personnel moves
Summary
At its May meeting the Bangor School Board elected Julie Myers president, named Shelley Piskey vice president, Joni Wilcox treasurer and Tina Matheson clerk, and approved several personnel actions including the resignations of Jacob Peterson and the retirement of athletic director Paul Laxton and hires for the 2026–27 school year.
Julie Myers was unanimously elected president of the Bangor School Board during the board’s May reorganizational meeting, and members confirmed the remainder of the officer slate for the coming year.
Board members nominated Myers as president and cast a “unanimous ballot for Julie Myers as school board president,” after which members selected Shelley Piskey as vice president, Joni Wilcox as treasurer and Tina Matheson as clerk. The board also agreed to roll committee assignments forward unless members requested changes and approved sending Myers as the district’s representative to the CESA 4 annual meeting on June 4.
The board handled several personnel items. It accepted the resignation of elementary physical education teacher Jacob Peterson effective at the end of the 2025–26 school year and the retirement of athletic director Paul Laxton effective June 30, 2026. Both motions were approved unanimously.
On hires, the board approved the employment of Julia Stirman as an elementary special education teacher and Haley Johnson as a high school science teacher for the 2026–27 school year. Administrators told the board both searches produced competitive applicant pools and emphasized references and fit with the district’s PLC and instructional goals.
The meeting closed routine business by approving the consent agenda, which included course approvals, building budgets and agreements, and then adjourned.
What’s next: The board will carry officer roles and committee assignments into the next year and the new hires will begin with the 2026–27 school year.
