School board approves $3,000 donation for vaping-prevention work at Marshwood Middle School
Summary
The RSU 35/MSAD 35 board approved a $3,000 donation from Main Health to support vaping- and tobacco-prevention activities at Marshwood Middle School, including peer training and a planned PSA; the motion passed unanimously.
The RSU 35/MSAD 35 school board voted to accept a $3,000 donation from Main Health to Marshwood Middle School to continue the school's vaping- and tobacco-prevention work. The donation was moved and seconded during the meeting and the board voted in favor.
A board member said the funds will support prevention activities begun last year, including peer-led “sidekick” training for eighth graders and staff-parent events offered during conferences. The speaker said the funds will also pay for equipment to produce a public-service announcement the district hopes to distribute beyond Marshwood Middle School.
Board member Christine seconded the motion. The meeting record shows five members voting in favor; no opposing votes or abstentions were recorded in the provided segments.
The board did not attach additional conditions to the gift in the discussed motion. The donation will be used to continue the district’s prevention programming and the related PSA; any broader district rollout of the PSA was described as a goal rather than a completed plan.
The board moved on to other agenda items after the vote; the donation acceptance is recorded as approved.
