School committee votes unanimously to offer superintendent candidate contract after executive session; schedules April 9 budget meeting
Summary
After an executive session under 1 M.R.S.A. §405(6)(A), the Chebeague Island School Committee voted 5-0 to offer a contract to the superintendent candidate and set a joint FY25 budget meeting with the Selectboard for April 9, 2024.
The Chebeague Island School Committee moved into executive session during its March 21 meeting under Maine statutory authority for employment-related matters and, after returning, voted unanimously to offer the superintendent candidate a contract for the 2024–25 school year.
Chair Elizabeth Doughty moved to enter executive session pursuant to 1 M.R.S.A. §405(6)(A) referring to employment-related matters; the motion was seconded by Geoff Summa and passed 5-0-0. The committee entered executive session at 7:23 p.m. and reconvened at 7:56 p.m. Following the closed session, Doughty moved to offer the superintendent candidate a contract for 2024–25; Jeff Putnam seconded and the motion passed 5-0-0.
The minutes record that a candidate had visited the island and the school earlier on March 21 as part of the superintendent search process. The committee also discussed FY25 budget line adjustments and agreed to forward revised lines to the Town Manager for inclusion in the full town budget. A joint budget meeting with the Town Selectboard was scheduled for Tuesday, April 9, 2024 at 6:00 p.m. at the Chebeague Island Hall; the School Committee will meet at 5:00 p.m. at the Chebeague Island School for an executive session prior to that joint meeting.
The minutes do not record the candidate’s name, the terms of the offer, or the content of the executive-session discussion; those details are not included in the public minutes.
