RSU 82 board approves operational changes: Dramamine allowed, bank signers updated, surplus sale authorized
Summary
The R.S.U. #82/M.S.A.D. #12 Board of Directors approved adding dimenhydrinate (Dramamine) to its OTC medication list, updated bank account signers, authorized sale of surplus items after a public-inventory presentation, and directed the superintendent to work with Jackman Selectman Scott Smith on boiler-room issues.
The R.S.U. #82/M.S.A.D. #12 Board of Directors on Aug. 14 approved several operational and administrative items affecting district facilities, finances and student health.
The board voted to add dimenhydrinate (Dramamine) to the list of over-the-counter medications that may be administered at Forest Hills Consolidated School. The motion was made by Jean Turner and seconded by Linda Griffin; the minutes record the vote as passing with seven members in favor.
Board members also approved removing Thad Lacasse and adding Teresa Lovejoy as signatories on district bank accounts (motion by Jean Turner; second by Linda Griffin) and later approved giving Teresa Lovejoy the authority to suspend students (motion by Danielle Hale; second by Jean Turner). The minutes show those motions passed with seven members voting in favor.
Following a presentation by Anna Begin that included an inventory of shed-stored materials, the board authorized moving forward with the sale of surplus items and noted that towns would have first refusal; Jackman Selectman Scott Smith took a copy of the inventory and the superintendent was to provide one to the Moose River Town Office. The minutes state some items are junk and have been or will be taken to the dump, and that at some point items may be offered to the public for donations to school funds. The motion to proceed with the sale was moved by Jean Turner and seconded by Danielle Hale.
On facilities, the board authorized the superintendent to work with Scott Smith to address issues in the boiler room at Forest Hills Consolidated School; that motion was moved by Linda Griffin and seconded by Bailey Brown and recorded as passing with seven members voting in favor.
The board also voted to table approval of the MSAD 12 financial statements for July 2024 (motion by Karla Talpey; second by Jean Turner). The meeting adjourned at 8:18 p.m.; the board set its next regular meeting for Sept. 18, 2024, at 6 p.m.
The minutes do not provide additional operational details such as dollar amounts for surplus sales, timelines for boiler work, or specifics of the superintendent search; those items remain to be developed and recorded in future meetings.
