Board approves administrative contracts and moves to convert assistant-principal post to part-time
Summary
The board approved a three-year contract for facilities director Louis (FY27 salary noted at $73,500), approved Dr. Jan’s revised multi-district contract, and voted to eliminate a full-time assistant-principal position and replace it with a part-time role for 2026–27; 90‑day notice rules and staffing allocation questions were discussed.
The board approved several personnel actions and took a formal vote to change the assistant-principal position for next school year.
A motion carried to approve a three-year administrative contract for Louis (facilities), which the board characterized as compensation tied to FY27 salary of $73,500 with subsequent years "to be determined" under negotiated benefits. Colleagues praised Louis's hands-on maintenance work and his role in advancing the HVAC grant project.
The board also moved to approve Dr. Jan’s revised contract for service across three districts. The motion described FY27 salary at about $116,000–$118,000 for multi-district coverage, with FY28 to be determined; the board discussed the novelty of one administrator serving three districts and said they will monitor effectiveness.
On staffing, the board voted to eliminate the full-time assistant-principal position and create a part-time assistant-principal role for the 2026–27 school year. Discussion emphasized the Maine administrative-contract notice requirement (90 days) and uncertainty about how the reduced FTE would be used; the board described the action as necessary to preserve compliance with contract-notice rules while staff explore course and assignment needs for the coming year.
Personnel notifications were read into the record covering edtech hires and coaching stipends; amounts were recorded in the meeting minutes.
Next steps: administrators will work with affected staff to clarify assignments and return with implementation details; the board will ensure contractual notice requirements are met.
