RSU 23 board approves special-education hire and begins first reading of threat-assessment policy
Summary
The RSU 23 board unanimously approved the hire of Maureen Dow as a Jameson Elementary special-education teacher and heard the first reading of policy JICIB: Behavioral Threat Assessment Management during its Feb. 16 meeting in Old Orchard Beach.
The RSU 23 Board unanimously approved the hire of Maureen Dow as a special-education teacher at Jameson Elementary School during a Feb. 16 meeting at Old Orchard Beach Town Hall.
Board member Donna Moutsatsos moved to approve the hire and Craig Evans seconded; the motion was recorded as "voted unanimously." The minutes list the action as approved without individual roll-call votes.
The hiring decision was presented during the board’s new-business segment. Board member Barbara Roberge read the first reading of policy JICIB, titled "Behavioral Threat Assessment Management." The transcript records that the policy was read for its first reading; no vote on adoption was taken at the meeting.
Why it matters: the hire fills a classroom role directly supporting students with special needs, and the first reading of JICIB starts a formal policy review process for how the district will assess and manage behavioral threats across schools.
Board members did not provide additional detail on the scope or timing of the policy’s implementation during the meeting. The minutes record the personnel motion and the policy reading but do not list further amendments, implementation dates, or related procedural directives.
The board moved later into executive session and adjourned at 6:43 p.m.; no additional votes on JICIB or personnel actions appear in the published minutes.
