Summary
At its June 24 meeting, the RSU 63 Board elected Linda Graban chair in a unanimous roll call and chose Cherie Faulkner as vice chair in a 5–1–1 vote. The board also set committee assignments and scheduled a July meeting for July 15, 2024 at Eddington School.
Superintendent Jared Fulgoni called the RSU 63 Board of Directors to order at 6:33 p.m. on June 24 at Holden Elementary School and welcomed three new board members. The board elected Linda Graban as board chair by a 7–0 roll-call vote.
Cherie Faulkner was nominated for vice chair and was elected in a contested vote: the roll call recorded five votes in favor, one opposed (Board member Amy Hart voted for Rachel Downs), and one abstention (Faulkner). After the vote, Graban assumed duties as chair and Faulkner as vice chair.
The board used the meeting to organize its committees. Members Derrick Robertson, Brittany Wood and Cherie Faulkner were elected to the Budget & Finance Committee. Faulkner and Robertson volunteered and were elected as Budget & Finance warrant officers. Board members accepted the written and verbal Budget & Finance and Superintendent reports by a unanimous vote.
Chair Graban asked staff to prepare a presentation explaining the social and emotional learning graphic that appeared in the Curriculum Committee minutes from June 10, 2024.
The board discussed scheduling and agreed to hold a July meeting on July 15, 2024, at 6:30 p.m. at Eddington School after an earlier proposed date presented conflicts.
